This Dog Can't Hunt

I took Maggie out to hunt for Pokemon and all she found was this non-augmented reality critter. The Eastern Black Swallowtail butterfly is a beautiful specimen but it wouldn't get into my phone's pokeball.

The Hartzell Visit

Just before the school year ended we witnessed the tornado that is Jake, Ruby, and Thomas. We had a fire, went to the beach, and they slept in a bounce house.

Maggie's New Best Friend

Gabriel learned a new trick and Maggie made a new friend. Maggie may be more excited for Audrey than any of us. 

Birthday Foodz

Thank you everyone for the birthday well-wishes! I spent the bulk of the day eating various foods with Alea (my favorite thing). Lucky for you I snapped pics of it.
It started with blueberry coffee from 7-11 and a salt bagel from Einstein's (*sad face emoji* they were all out of pretzel bagels). Just before lunch we received the call we had been waiting for, the Lazy Boy was waiting for us at the warehouse. They quoted us 10 weeks at purchase, which would have been our expected due date, but they came through early.
Before picking it up I did my best at re-creating the Greek Sandwich from Subs-N-Such. I think I nailed everything except the Greek Dressing, store-bought was too sweet. For dessert Alea slaved away on a peanut-butter cheesecake with chocolate ganache.
For dinner I prepared some homemade black and blue's and dined on a huge pretzel and curry shrimp at Coasters. I love food.

Big thanks to Rock-Steady D.J. for helping with the recliner transport!

Ham, salami, lettuce, onion, black olives, Greek peppers, (tomatoes optional), feta, Greek dressing.

Best Picnic Ever

Take a look at the view, not much more to say.

Young Lovers

Nick made Duck friends

Olympic Peninsula Camping

Again, a huge thank you to Nick and Gina for taking me way out into the beautiful depths of the Northwest rain forest. Our site was next to a rushing mountain river. We hiked close to the top of an 8 mile mountain (14 miles round trip).

There were many helpful slugs.

Seattle (the first few days)

This year's Seattle trip was one of a kind. Thanks to Nick and Gina for taking me in, showing me the sights and letting me crash. I found the Gazoo, met the Troll, hung out with Lenin, and saw At The Drive In.
