Here is a picture of me doing some of my first river fishing. I loved it. Caught my limit every day. I was great being on the river. 

Sydney and I and nates folk's ( nate had to work : ( )went to Kooskia Idaho to spend a week with Nate's extended family. We did lots of swimming in the river, meeting new family, playing with dogs and 2 nd cousins. 

We took another great hike with Sydney in Mt Rainier National Park. It was a great day. Sydney absolutly loves going hiking. She smiles and has her tounge out and looks all around.  

She really loves pulling thigns off the shelf. We are trying to teach her that she has her own shelf. She is slowly learning. 

I can do it!!! 

Sydney is learning to master the skill of pulling her self up on things. It is so fun to see her learn new skills. Time to baby proof the next level of the house. 

Hey what are you doing???? 

"Did I do that?" 

Sydney and Nate with Mt Adams in the back. We could see 4 mountians from the top. It was a beautiful hike and a beautiful day. Sydney did great in the backpack. Weighing close to 25 lbs, she really gives me a workout on all uphill hikes. The burn feels good! 

Nate on the edge. Mt Rainier is in the background. 

Sydney at the Firelook out cabin 

two peas in a pod. Both love the water. 

Nate and Sydney had fun playing with her new Crab floaty in the pool. It is great living at camp and being able to hit the pool on hot days. 

Grandpa Frank was showing Sydney the nice yellow truck at the HUGE car show. Sydney showed her favorites by clapping as they drove by.

We went camping at Cannon Beach in Oregon with my brother, his wife and her family from Germany. You can see how much he loves his niece!
