Scenes From Our Life: The River

While we were visiting my family in August, we stayed two nights at my parents' property in northeastern Washington, NOT near Seattle. :) These are some pictures from our visit. We had a great trip.

Can I look silly while Mom is taking my picture?

BEHOLD, A ROCK!

Miriam really had fun walking with rocks in her hands.

The fish: Emma caught two, but had to throw one back and Joseph caught three, if we remember correctly. They were small, but good to eat.

Miriam and the special rocks

This is the main room of my parents' place. It is a very nice place to relax.

Here is where the kids can wade and throw rocks in the river.

Emily is cleaning the fish.

After they went creek fishing, Grandpa and Emily went river fishing. Here is Emily wading out.

Throwing rocks. I think this is one of the things that my children enjoy the most.

There's my dad fishing WAY out in the middle of the river.

Here's the view facing the river.

Here's the side lawn.

This is Joseph being responsible for moving his car seat back to the car without him being asked to do it. He was very pleased that he could do it without being asked.
