One Sunday, Bailey's sister Whitney and her family joined us for a afternoon at Cascade Springs. The weather was sunny and beautiful... until we got there. We got to the trailhead and it started pouring like crazy! We tried waiting out the storm, but eventually just gave in and ran through the trail in the rain. It was cold and wet, but gorgeous!
Chanel's birthday was this month! On her birthday, she, Sami, and I went to the Ashton Gardens and enjoyed walking around. We also enjoyed a delicious Thai lunch afterwards!
Obon practice is always a good thing! We only made it once this year, but enjoyed the time spent together practicing the dances and eating tasty food.
My work party was an excellent one indeed - it was at the Living Planet Aquarium! That place is expensive, so it was awesome to be able to go there for free with my Bailey. We had so much fun - our favorite animals were the sloths and jellyfish! We also enjoyed touching the anemone that tried hugging Bailey's fingers.
Mochi time! Making mochi is one of my favorite family activities. The whole family joined in on the fun, which resulted in some tasty mochi treats!
We have been trying to hike quite regularly. It has been fun to bring people along with us. Let's just say we were SO excited when we got the entire family together for a hike. This has never been done before! All seven of us hiking together... I was in heaven!
How could a month go by without any delightful Yuki pictures? This little fluffball brings us so much joy.
Stewart Falls is always an excellent choice for a hike. Not too hard, beautiful the whole way, and with a great reward at the end! Bailey and I went just alone together and had lots of fun.
Kylie and I had a hair day where she henna-d my hair and then dyed her hair PINK! I wish I had an after picture because her hair looked awesome. It came out pretty quickly but it was fun while it lasted. As for me and my hair, it now has that red sheen that I so enjoy!
Note about baking using coconut oil: don't do it in a cold house. Wace keeps the house at a cool 65 degrees, which made my muffin batter freeze up. I had to employ Bailey to sit outside and stir the batter until it melted again in the warm sun!
Warden hosted a party after his baby blessing, which was awesome! There was lots of good food and good company. I so love that little guy! Also, he has FOURTEEN living grandparents which I think is insane. Unfortunately only 11 made it to the blessing, but that is still pretty notable in my opinion.
My parents are on puppy duty and I am so excited! Boo and Sully are my cousin's dogs, and they are the cutest, snuggliest little guys. I have had so much fun hanging out with them while their humans are in Japan!
