Happy Birthday, Jeremy!


A few days after Ascha's birthday, Jeremy turned "3 tens and 3." Since Ascha had finally figured out how to blow out a candle, she got to reinforce her new skill:




Jeremy got a new handgun for his birthday, but since his wish list kept changing, I decided I'd let him pick it out himself. For his gift to open, he got a tiny flintlock pistol, courtesy of the Playmobil Pirate set. :-)



To celebrate the day, we all went north toward Mt. St. Helens to a spot on the Lewis River to try our luck at panning for gold. No gold was acquired, but what a golden afternoon we had! What could be better on a sunny June day than throwing rocks and catching water skippers with the people whose company you most enjoy?



A picnic lunch is always a treat.



Throw a little hiking in for good measure, and you've got a pretty perfect day!
