I'm not sure if this helps her or helps PNB's bottom line, but she was certainly excited to go to Swan Lake. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1943 Keeping Clam Moclips has clams? And people eat clams? Ok. We'll give it a shot. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1942 Happy birthday, Bug Donuts and frapaccino and balloons. What else could a birthday girl need? http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1941 Saving the world and earning badges In just a few weeks this whole area will be old growth forest again. Wait. It doesn't work that way? How long do we have to wait? HOW LONG???? http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1940 SCIENCE (is growing) You don't just put stuff in the ground and hope it grows. You have to do it scientifically. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1939 Mailbox #6 Lest you think Mailbox wasn't still a ritual... http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1938 Fort Ebey State Park Quick! Let's show them Washington before they leave! http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1937 Henry's first snow camp Henry helped me wrap up my sleeping bag testing with a night in the snow... in the front yard. It's amazing how convenient it is to camp with a full bathroom just a few feet away, but I think I prefer the wilderness anyway. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1936 Solo testing It was my first solo overnight, necessitated by the need to get another night of gear testing in the can. The wind was howling, the snow was cold, but I was quite comfy. Still, I'd rather adventure with companions, or at least the dog. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1935 To each their rewards When I do gear testing it's so I can share my experiences with others (and, of course, try out some REALLY cool gear). For Lilly, it's more about having some quality time with crazy Dad and getting some special hiking bites, even if we're only in NanaPapa's back yard. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1934 Taegeuk Sam Jang I think. I'm really not very fluent in Korean, though this is helping. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1933 Double digits Double the trouble. (And awesome cupcakes, as always.) http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1932 Rocket SCIENCE You know how they say something isn't rocket science. This isn't that because IT IS ROCKET SCIENCE! http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1931 Magic at Tokul's Pool Good times at the Pool. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1930 Happy Treenday! Poor dog. She had to go to the vet on her birthday. But she got to go on two hikes, too. And she ate way too much food she shouldn't have been allowed to eat. It's her birthday. What are you going to do? http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1929 My daughter, the skating queen Sk8 || die! (Wow, that sounded cooler in my head.) http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1928 I've got a great idea! But we have to do it outside. No, not dangerous AT ALL. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1927 Streak for the goal! Nothing confuses me more than seeing Henry in 35 year old soccer gear. http://www.moosefish.com/cgi-bin/package_display.pl?packageID=1926
