DeA is always happy and chipper for breakfasts at the Ranch.
Everybody loves breakfast.
Ryker made chopsticks out of sticks to bring a dead mouse to DeA.



Rainbow Falls was pumping out the water.
Our three little kids.

 

Stehekin Adventure: Day 2 remix

It was time for our annual Agnus Gorge hike. No Cheeto this year, let's not talk about it.
We had extra hikers this year since the Suburban could fit more peeps.
Sofia got to ride like a princess on Javi's back.

The annual family picture at the Agnus Peak lookout (not pictured: my family who ditched me behind)
The water was flowing pretty strong.
But nothing is as strong as these two muscle men.







I picked these flowers for DeA on the way back.
Some others wanted to run ahead to make sure they were first in line for lunch, which is a big reason that we only do Agnus and never Bridge Creek
Rock uses his talents for good, never evil
Glad we get up to Stehekin and away from our phones.....





It wasn't Nama and Hampa that had had enough family time.
Baby Jett is a chunk and a ton of fun.




The relaxing, screen free evenings are the best

Stehekin Adventure: Day 2

DeA loved to eat by the fire to try and get warm every morning.
Breakfast is the best.
And Schnogies is the best.


Rock had a hard time making it to breakfast.
We always go on a hike to Agnus Gorge on our first full day. Always Agnus. Never Bridge Creek. Always Agnus.

Rock did make it to breakfast, but barely. He easily made it for lunch.


It's nice that most of the kids are old enough for porch sitting. Porch sitting is the best.

We always go on afternoon or evening walks, if we don't get 20k steps then DeA feels that we wasted the day.




It's always important to smoke your kids at ping pong so that they don't start to get cocky.





Bethany's cat, Maximus, snuck into our cabin like he owned it. Ryker wasn't mad though.
