Artist and Bagley Lakes with B

We went up with B to Artist Point and Bagley Lakes today. It was cloudy, but still gorgeous. We had a great time. All the photos click here, a few fav's below.

I tried to tell him they were backwards, but he would have none of it.

Heliotrope Ridge

Julie and I went out to Heliotrope Ridge today. For those not familiar, this hike brings you to the brink of the Coleman Glacier on Mt. Baker. It is also the trail that leads to the most popular climbing route to the summit of Baker.

It was a perfect day! Sunny but not too hot. We made it to the ridge which is saying something - had to cross through 4 creeks/waterfall things, one of which was pretty sketchy. Thankful for trekking poles and a super adventurous wife! Many turned around at the last crossing and we saw one lady take kind of a nasty fall. Still, we made it, and the views of the glacier were worth it.

Maui 2015

Well what do you get when you mix 10 adults, 5 kids (cousins), and a week in Maui? A whole lot of fun, and a whole lot of pictures. If you want to see them all, click here and go to the full album, all 211 photos. As usual, below are some of my favorites...

We were there for about a week. The weather was beautiful, the water was warm, and we had a great trip. Brennan was sick with a cold for most of the trip, but it didn't really slow him down. The latest he slept in all week was 6:00am, and that was only once. Our first morning we, along with all the families with kiddos, were on the beach at 4:30am taking a beach walk. Most days started around 5:30am.

Mornings until lunch were on the beach, when we usually got hungry, over-heated, or the wind would come up. After lunch was rest time, or shave ice time, and evenings were back to the beach, or boogie boarding, or dinner on the beach, or all of the above. In short, it was a week in paradise!
