The Great Outdoors...

I cannot tell you how excited I was when everyone in the office decided to go on a hike to some ice caves...why you ask? That meant I would get out of this hotel room! lol It has actually been super nice here the past couple days but I don't really get to enjoy it because I'm in the hotel room processing paperwork. So any opportunity to get out and go somewhere I'm game! Chris thinks it's kind of sad how excited I get to go to Wal-Mart...the simple joys! 
So we drove about an hour to Granite Falls to hike to the ice caves, big bummer when we came across a "Road Closed" sign about 10 miles away from the parking lot to start the hike. That didn't stop us from having a good time though! It was gorgeous!

 Chris doing some "stretches"...
 Josh and Brad doing "crazy Tarzan type stuff" I didn't want to bust their bubble by commenting on the evidence on their rears suggesting they may need a little more practice...

It was so fun to be outside and get to see a little more of Washington. The highlight of the little trip for me was convincing the boys to stop at a little mom-n-pop produce stand we passed on the way up the mountain. The boys were nice enough to stop and I was so excited! I don't know why I get so excited over these little things but it made my day! Everything was so fresh and SO much cheaper than the grocery store! Chris teased that all he needs to give me is produce stands/farmers markets and crafts and I'm happy...he's catching on!
P.S.- We bought plane tickets to go get Trayden May 29th and we get him for 6 weeks!!!! Beyond excited...
