Mother's Day and more

No time to write much, but wanted to share these pictures with you. We had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. The weather was beautiful. So after a nice breakfast, we headed to the islands northwest of Seattle and ended up going to Deception Pass State Park (a 90 minute drive). We had a beautiful hike and spent about three hours in this little bay, collecting shells, climbing, enjoying the view, snacking ... and coincidently meeting some friends from Seattle with whom we spent the rest of the afternoon.

And here are some more pictures taken during the past weeks:

What else do you need than a stick and some water?

One of our favourite birds: a "Stellar's Jay", but the kids call it a "Blue Jay".

Happy Spring to everyone!
