The "fam" went to Fort Vancouver for the fourth, supposedly it has the biggest fireworks display this side of the Mississippi...we wouldn't know, we didn't stick around until 10:10 to see it. So we just ended up hanging out at home enjoying eachothers company!

So Esther can now sit herself up...and she often does so after we leave the room when we put her to bed...and then she falls asleep sitting up...the product is a very awkward looking sleeping baby...she often wakes up crying (probably due to numb legs) and then rolls over and falls asleep like a normal human!

Here is our hearty chunk of earth...looking good...the pumpkin has grown 6 inches in just a day! Crazy!!!

Pea's

Working in the gardan...we finally broke down and bought a $6 sprinkler so Amy doesn't have to spend an hour walking around her garden watering each night!

Speaking of licking...Amy had something on her cheek...and I was right there...and voala...shiny cheek again!

Found some "escargo" on the trail...thought I'd give it a lick...mmm mm good!

So there was a battle for passage...one log across the water...one guardian...and one very large mouthed person...it's war!!!

A "macro" shot of the water...kinda looks like a one inch "mini" waterfall! yeah!!!

Just another nice picture...inspired by "a bug's life" ...the commentary really talks about all of the research they did into the transparency of things when you get down low under the light and all...really cool

Brian took this picture of the old scenic highway bridge that the falls are right next too...a real beaut!

Well Brian Haagen came up and we went on the Latourell falls hike again...very good hike! And I couldn't resist but to do the spinny thing again!
