Garrett's 3rd Bday Party

Three years ago today, I was watching a baby boy named Garrett being born! It was such a special time, being there for his birth, and it was a special time yesterday celebrating his 3rd birthday! Man, how time flies! Margo & Joe held it at Millwood Park and lots of fun was had by all......
Iron Man of course!
What a cutie, posing for us

Speaking of cuties!

Um, Marg, there's a little something in your hair...

Eying his gifts
Chatting with the parental units

Quick! Blow em out!

What a good sport


"How old are you Garrett? You're not one silly!"

Methinks Finn liked the cake!

Cheese!
Guns are always a hit



Why is this kid always shooting me??? lol
The trike from Gma/Gpa Greene was a hit too
At least Gavin liked our gift :)

Mt Spokane

Today we had plans to take the boat out, but since the weather has turned downright BRISK, we had to rework our plans! We decided to take a drive and head up Mt Spokane. We haven't been there in a little while, so we thought we'd go up, take a picnic lunch, and see what's to see. We stopped in at the old Kirk's Lodge for a bit first, then headed up the mountain. We went on a little nature walk and checked out some scenery. It was a fabulous day and the weather was actually perfect for some exploring!

"The View From Above" (the summit)
The lifts look so lonely

This was carved into one of the trees




Not a bad way to finish up a great day! YUM!
