Frenchman Coulee with J&B

Living in Kittitas County, we have so many examples that we live in God's Country and we have countless examples of proof that this world is a mixture of past and present, meaning earthquakes, lava and water (among many other elements) literally shape our world. Frenchman Coulee was that visual proof last week. It's across the river in Grant County (same exit you would take to get to The Gorge and the Fingers rocks for rock climbing).
A couple of views of the Columbia River, just beyond where you park for the Frenchman hike.
At the end of the coulee is a waterfall that had a decent flow to it considering it's January. You can see this waterfall for the entire two miles in, which gives you great motivation to keep on trucking. The hike is relatively flat, but in some places covered in jagged rocks. Surrounding us the entire time was the basalt rock walls. Unbelievable. Brittany is on a snow bridge where the waterfall emptied under. Smart? Probably not.
Apparently, I wear the same thing when I hike: My green vest.

Quarterly update from KTown

Spring sports with Delaney playing volleyball for the second straight year. This year was noticeably different as her league included fifth through eighth graders. Adelyn with her second year of softball. Again, a noticeably different level of competition. Delaney will eat anything, just like me. Food is fun, especially when you try new things. We're at the Crab Pot along the Seattle waterfront and we got a seafeast of salmon, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, sausage and corn. It was deee-lish. Dee Dee and her shrimp...right before she ripped its head off to grub down. Kittitas day at the Mariners game. 80 of our closest friends from KTown in attendance. Took Adelyn and Brittany to Saltwater State Park. Adelyn loved the shells, crabs and the clams underneath the surface squirting water. On our way home, we got stopped on the pass for the roadwork blasting. Took the opportunity to snap a few pics of this beauty. Adelyn with my hat, a rain coat, pajamas, ten...

When Mommy's sick and Daddy's in charge...

...this happens... Addy is potty training (quite successfully and very quickly I might add) so she's pretty much pantsless 24/7. She doesn't usually wear Brittany's boots, though. That's Addy again, wearing Delaney's wicked witch hat. Don't know where she got it. Delaney and her sunflower she's been growing since the last few days of school. It finally bloomed at the beginning of this week...and Delaney's wearing Mommy's boots now.

This is Jon. We celebrated Adelyn's 4th birthday party over the course of a few days. Parents party, grandparents party and kids party. She was very spoiled. Can't believe this girl is four! Addy Bear with her new Barbie Bike. Two lovely ladies... Getting ready to dig in... She looks like she's ready to hit the town in her new outfit. A big boost in her piggy bank! My two girls lookin' cute. I think she looks adorable in these two pics!
