Silly November

Kimberly & Rebekah did fruits & veggies at preschool this week, so they came home with placemats of nutrition on Friday.

The girls also got to wear Daddy's headgear before his Tae Kwon Do sparring tournament last weekend.

November already?!

Rebekah's version of the State of Washington (see Kimberly's caption for the list of features)

And Kimberly's! There's a Space Needle, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, river with salmon, red apples, and wheat fields.

Pumpkin Carving Night at school was for the dads. This was Kimberly's Daddy poster.

And Bekah's Daddy poster

We took a day trip down to Mt. Rainier today since Bekah asked to go see it this morning and the weather was perfect for the outing.

Part of our hike took us along the PCT

Lots of icicles!

Beautiful views of Mt. Rainier!!
