The rainy weather has started up again, but luckily we've had a few rain-free moments during the past two weekends. Last weekend we went to visit a park that's located on the shore of Lake Washington, and the weekend before we went on a short hike between to lakes. It's been fun to see all of the fall colors in the Northwest, even though I think that Utah's fall colors are prettier. Here are some pictures of our latest excursions:
Phantom Lake(the beginning of our hike)
Larson Lake(the end-point of our hike - I promise, there are two different lakes in these pictures)
Several summers ago, J helped to clean up the blueberry fields outside of Larson Lake. The bushes are especially pretty right now with their red leaves.
Exploring at the park on Lake Washington. If you can manage to look beyond my brightly colored windbreaker, you can see Seattle in the background.
I wonder if we'll manage to get more rain-free weekends this year. I admit, I'm not excited for the rainy season to start, mostly because it's hard to entertain a curious, wiggly boy indoors. If anyone has some great ideas for inexpensive/free indoor activities, I'd love to hear them.

That last picture is fantastic.
I'm glad you've been able to go out and do some exploring. I know nothing about the weather there. Do they get snow? How long does the rainy season last?
In our area, we have a gym that does children's gymnastic lessons...and once a week they have open gym for those who are not enrolled. You just pay a few bucks for two hours of playtime there. I'm planning on taking Rachel to the open gym time to play on the equipment and run around this winter. Maybe your area has something like it?
That first picture is great! Sam is getting so big. I miss you guys.
Yeah, we do get snow in Seattle. Not TONS of snow, but we get a handful of inches each year. The rainy season lasts from October/November until April/May. I think June is a little rainy too.
Krystal, the open gym is a good suggestion! I'll have to look into that.
Beautiful pictures! I know what you mean about the rainy season starting. It does get tough to entertain the little ones! You need to come with me to the Seattle Children's Museum and the Pacific Science Center! I can get us into both for $3 each!
