Summer Fun

Here's a bunch of pictures of home life this summer. I combined a few albums into one and narrowed it down to 60 or so shots. Click here to see all the pictures or scroll down to see a few of my fav's!

Chain Lakes Loop + Bagley Lakes

Yesterday I spent most of the day up in the mountains, hiking the Chain Lakes Loop + Bagley Lakes. It was hot, and gorgeous. It's probably the earliest in the season I've hiked these trails and there was lots of snow still. The entire approach up to the Herman Saddle was one huge snow-field. Forget trail finding...it's just hike straight up and hope you don't slip. Still, I had a blast.

Surprisingly, there were very few people on the trails...maybe because of the condition (too many snow bridges). Even with my trekking poles I did take one fall while crossing a snow bridge...slid about 15' or so. The solitude was so worth it!

Here's a link to all the photos, or some of my favorites below.

The Zoo

Had the joy of going to the zoo again with Grandma and Grandpa Greene. Of course, B LOVED it! Highlights were the owls, the train ride, the zebras, and we got to see the lions and tiger get fed. Fun! While Brennan was napping in the Bob, we also saw two cougars get fed, a black bear get fed, and grizzly bear too. Brennan's favorite was probably the python...he loved hanging out with all the snakes.

Owls

Brennan and I were walking through Whatcom Falls Park and heard these owls. We were on the wrong side of the creek so we doubled back and found them. Very cool!!! B learned that some owls don't really go "whoo whoo" as these were screech owls.

Catching Up (mostly)

Wow - Life has gotten crazy and crazy tired. Since I posted any photos, we've gone on a bazillion walks and I've lugged my camera with us quite a few times. This post is a collection of pictures from about 8-10 different days...(like I said, catching up for lost time).

I did whittle it down to about 150 shots...all of which you can find by clicking here.

Below are just a few of my fav's...

Out and About and More...

Just posted some pic's of life in Bellingham. Exciting stuff like "mowing the lawn." Still, you may enjoy the pictures.

Loved the colors in this shot

Happy Mother's Day!

Brennan loves to look at cars and trucks...this one caught our eye this morning
