Mailbox peak and visit from Henry and Max



On Friday I attempted to climb Mailbox peak. I didn't quite make it because of too much ice around 3900 feet. Very frustrating to hike straight up over 3000 feet and not see any views.

Henry and Max came for a weekend visit on Friday night. We took them to the Pinewood Derby on Saturday morning which Henry loved. Joe came in 2nd place in his den and Henry came in first in his race. In the afternoon we went to the Fed Way community center pool. The little boys love it there.

Next week we have conferences for Joe on Monday and Tuesday and Jess on Thursday and Friday. Then, the next week they have Spring break and the boys are going to Orcas Island with Nana and Gerrit.

Rattlesnake Ledge



Jess, Joe and Joe's friend David and I went to Rattlesnake Ledge on Sunday. Great day for a view hike. Also a great kids hike, only 2 miles up and 1200 ft gain and the kids thought they were on a huge mountain

Troop 366 Gaming outing at beach house


We had 15 kids and 6 adults out to the beach house for the boyscout Video Gaming outing. It was a few people too many but the kids had a great time playing Halo all weekend. They had 6 TV's and 6 Xboxes all linked up so all the kids could play the same game. It was a little rainy but I was able to chase them outside a few times for a game of football and playing on the beach.
