We took the boys to Salmon Days the first weekend in October. It was fun, it was crowded. A challenging place to be with three little ones, but we managed to enjoy ourselves.

Mmmmmm, honey straws!


Avery’s got another loose tooth, and is trying desperately to get it out. He was so funny eating his corn on the cob. Why turn the corn when you can tilt your head?







Jump salmon, jump!

A few weeks ago we packed the boys in the van and made the 4.5 hour (6 with kids) drive to Pullman, WA to visit Uncle Scott and Aunt Manivanh for a weekend. We had a great time visiting, but as usual, not enough time. The cousins were happy to be together and kept each other entertained. Here are a few pics from our trip:

We checked out the WSU campus, saw where Uncle Scott works, and visited the Grizzly Bears at the university

I’m pretty sure the boys were joking about bear poop here

Kieron loved digging in Uncle Scott & Aunt Manivanh’s garden





On Sunday we went to Phillips Farm and picked apples and plums

Here’s our bounty:

As the end of summer approached, Jonathan and the boys squeezed in another day hike and one more camping trip. The boys loved getting outdoors and Avery was eager to go back to the same camp site that he went to last summer. The boys did some day hikes from the campground and explored the forest and river. Avery and Kieron are good little pals on trips like this, and really enjoyed their special time with Daddy.

Woah! Not Mommy approved!
