Griffologic for Back-to-school!

{mom} What are you going to wear on the first day of school?
{Griffen} I'm going to be low profile. I don't need to wear anything special for the kids to know how cool I am.


That's my boy!

Pacific City Vacation 2013

Our vacation to Pacific City was filled with lots of fun. There were plenty of walks to the beach for playing in the sand and water. The sun came out but there was always lots of wind which kept it a bit chilly. We took a day and went exploring in Depot Bay. We were so close to Tillamook that we had to make a trip to the cheese factory. Of course it wouldn't be complete without some Tillamook ice cream! The boys were amazed when we visited the Air Museum and they were able to see all of the airplanes. I was pretty impressed too.

lots of toys at the souvenir shops

Taffy!

Cutest boys ever!

Watching cheese be made.

Mmmm Tillamook Ice Cream!

A Day at the Woodland Park Zoo

The gorilla was touching the glass where Knox touched it

Looking at the spiders - his favorite!

If you are ever unsure of what you should be doing on a sunny day then grab a burger from Red Mill and head to the zoo!

Griffologic!

{Griffen} What do you think happened to the arc when Noah was done with it?
{Mom} That's a good question. I'm really not sure.
{Griffen} I think it must be in Turkey

Random thoughts by Griffen

Lake Wenatchee and the 4th of July!

The summer has officially begun - we went camping! Our first camping trip this year was at Lake Wenatchee and the weather was perfect. The boys played in the lake, although it was still fairly cold.
We spent an afternoon in Leavenworth walking around and looking in the shops. Of course with it being 103 we had to have ice cream! Knox and Griff took a dip in the river. Unfortunately Griffen got a little too brave and swam far enough out that the current almost took him away. Matt had to go in after him so that was the end of our river time.
It was so nice to relax and get out of town for a few days.
We headed back on the 3rd so that we could pick up some fireworks and spend the 4th at home. Griffen and Matt picked out some great items which were lots of fun for the family to light off and enjoy!

It's not camping without a sword fight

Our fireworks!

Hat shop in Leavenworth

Mmmm ice cream!
