wakely fills in

I have pretty much felt hooey since the beginning of the year. I got bronchitis that just really messed me up. The coughing led to pulled muscles under both sides of my ribs and let me tell you... coughing with those are not pleasant! One evening when I was just wiped and Joe was outta town, Wakely said he would make dinner - all by himself! He decided to make tostados ~ complete with refried beans, chopped lettuce using a butter knife, shredded cheese (you can see on the table where he did the shredding), sour cream, and even juice. It was yummy.

Can I say proud? Thanks Wakely.

olympic national park

Joe and a friend took some of the kids and went on a day hike. They had a great time. It was almost a 5 hr drive out there but it was worth it as the weather was great and the tide was way out. This particular hike was a 9 mile triangle with the first 3 heading out to the ocean. Joe was all geared up to do the whole thing but when his friend and daughter decided to turn back after the first 3 Joe decided he better do the same. It was a good thing he did because by the end Bridger was pretty tuckered and would just stop and sit or lay down at any given moment. Luckily, Joe brought plenty of snacks to keep him motivated.
