Star Wars: Return of the Xbox

Lego star wars is back!

Ironic: collecting the Xbox from the UPS depot opposite campus-xbox :-)

More Lego

More lego. That's hours of work that is.

Hot tub

Emptied, cleaned and refilled the hot tub this weekend having decided that we really should give it a try

It was at this point that I realised I should have paid much more attention to Mr. Jefferson's chemistry lessons.

Having defective colour vision doesn't help much either, which might explain why we all came out "splotchy" ;-)

Wenatchee

Kart-ing

H was very taken by the Kart-King, and thanks to Dawn he's now practicing hand break turns down the drive. Watch out Hamilton!

Water, lots of it.

Lake Wenatchee

A breezy afternoon at Lake Wenatchee. Thanks James and Victoria!

Back to Leavenworth

We had a chance to check out Leavenworth again  — this time without snow and the mountains visible!

Look into my eyes

Look into my eyes, look into my eyes. Not around the eyes. Look into my eyes. You're under.

T Ball

The boys playing (sponge) T Ball.

Whispering Pines Lodge

A very relaxing weekend with the Clarke's east of the cascades at Whispering Pines Lodge, in Plain, North of Leavenworth.

I loved the grates, they had a full 6 feet of space beneath for snow that is knocked off boots!

Mind the gap

Duck Restored

A bit of surgery and the Honiton duck is back in shape and out on the deck with her friends.

Even better, the weather was right for it!

Wet Juanita Bay

We had a little walk at Juanita Bay Park. 'F' was so exhausted from yesterday's tiny treks and a sleepover with D and F that he had a little 'moment' and then crashed out.

Mum and H returned from seeking the turtles to find Dad and F asleep in a nice dry spot under a tree.

Wet Day

After some really great weather, today was/is a wet day. MTB ride canceled :-(

Still, it keeps the place green...

Three Stars

Teeth

'H' showing that despite a wobble, all teeth remain present and correct!

House Trailer Boat Thingy

Most Serene

2500ft altitude gain in 3.6 miles (oh, that's not including the quick jaunt up to Bridal Veil Falls and back) so this was a hike sans-kids.

Hard work for unfit people like me, but the reward at Lake Serene was more than worth the effort.

Thanks much++ to Martin for getting it together (although compared to cycling over the Himalayas, I think we had it easy).

Farewell Picture #5

Dinner

Joseph treated us to a fish supper treat; Mediterranean style. Yum.

It went down well with the kids too!
