On Friday we drove down to Shelton/Olympia area to spend the weekend with Todd’s family. Todd’s brother, Keith, flew up from Arizona for a visit, the first in two years since we last saw him. On Saturday we went to Tommy (Tom’s son) & Krista’s house on Black Lake in Olympia. We had fun on the giant water trampoline with the water being surprisingly warm! Afterwards, we gathered at Tom & Cindy’s in Shelton with Kali & Brandon (Todd’s sister and her husband who live nearby) and played the Wii that we brought down. We all crashed at the house which I think is the first in a long time Cindy has had all her kids under one roof.
While we were there I took pictures of four baby birds in a basket next to the front porch. The next day they had moved out of the nest and were preparing to fly. The parents were encouraging them to get moving through their chirping. One of the babies didn’t quite get the hang of it after he flopped out of the nest, so the mom flew down to get the baby to follow her to safety. It was neat to see!
On Sunday, after church, we walked down to the creek behind the house and watched Jasmine (their dog) entertain us. She was cleaning up the creek by pulling out all the sticks she could find and laying them on the embankment, then going back for more. She’s a funny dog. We packed-up soon after but stopped in Olympia to play a few holes of disc golf with Cindy & Keith. It was nice to get away for a couple days and see family, hopefully we will get together again soon!

That is a beautiful place! As always, I love your photos. I'm glad the trip was good for everyone and that Todd's family could be together like that. I always love it when all my siblings are home.
Sounds like you had a fun time away! Fun pictures of the dog...I especially like the one where he's just getting into the water. Splish, Splash
