More Burfoot

Well, we think we found our favorite nearby park to take the boys and dogs to. After Brian took a quick nap this morning (he flew all night) we headed back to Burfoot Park. We hiked down to the water and let Bailey do some swimming. It is just about impossible to keep her, or Hudson out of the water.




Hudson really enjoys playing with sticks. As long as he doesn't poke an eye out....

Bristol is getting so strong!

Frye Cove Park

Yesterday we went to Frye Park. We were able to play fetch with Bailey in the cove, go on a hike on the cove trail, and Hudson was able to play on a playground.

Watershed Park and Tolmie State Park

Today we had a great family day! We started by heading to Watershed Park. This is a great trail that's only about 5.5 miles away from our house. It is right in town, but it feels like you're in the middle of a rain forest. The weather today has been pretty rainy, but we decided we had better get used to it and went out anyways. Hudson's new word today was river, which he learned from the many little bridge crossings over the creek running through the trail. He also likes to randomly call out, "tree!"...which there is no lack of! After hiking around Watershed Park we headed to Tolmie State Park. We had a picnic lunch then walked down to the water to do some exploring. Hudson found any little puddle he could do dance in, and Bailey had a great time playing fetch, swimming and chasing seagulls. Bristol slept through all of the excitement. All in all a great day!

Hudson found a sand dollar...

Burfoot County Park

Today we took the kids to Burfoot County Park to do a short hike. We are really enjoying getting out and exploring our new surroundings!

We walked to Boston Harbor.

Exploring Our New Surroundings

Port of Olympia

There were rasberries and blackberries growing all along the trail..yum!

Every week from Thursday through Sunday there is a farmer's market at the Port Of Olympia, so we had to check it out.

Mount Rainier

We took a break from unpacking to go check out Mount Rainier. It was a beautiful drive and we had a great time taking in the beautiful views.

We took a hike to this waterfall

The Big Move

The guys worked really hard getting everything packed into the truck. The moving truck was so full you couldn't have fit a sugar cube in it! This was in Utah before starting the drive to Washington.

Hanging out with some good friends before hitting the road.

After arriving to our new home we starting the task of unpacking the truck.

There was a point in time when I didn't think the boxes would ever go away! Rj gave me some good advice,"Just unpack one at a time".

Grandpa and Hudson taking a break from unpacking to make good use of a lamp shade.

The front of the house

Well, after a week of working hard to unpack, I think we are finally all moved into our new home, new home for the next 6 months atleast. The town we moved to is Tumwater, WA. The neighborhood is very nice and there is a nice park close by for Hudson to play in. There is not quite as much space as we are used to, but I think the house will work out well for us.
