nearly the last day of july, we found ourselves hiking the butte. while we were psyched to have missed the rain, we were also hoping for the sky to spill some sunshine. our hope wasn't granted, and thankfully so - it was muggy! madisyn and jack made us adults laugh and put all of us to shame; they practically climbed it twice with all their running ahead and then running back to us. oh, how i remember doing that at flattop. thinking those parent's of ours were so slooow. now, i get it. gaige was a trouper, but the hike is still a lot for his little legs. dylan, she'll get her's next spring. and us big girls, well, let's just say that one of these times, it'd be super-fun to go sans-kiddos! i can't even imagine...
my dear friend, brooke came along, despite needing to catch a flight outta ak later that day. i was so glad to get one last visit in before she headed back to her new home, the emerald city. i miss her every time she leaves, but one of these days, we'll get down to seattle for a long weekend of new eats, a concert or a sporting event or maybe some shopping or... whatever. i have enough friends (and family) in seattle to make it quite enjoyable.

but so carefree.
and so happy.

duey trying to hang with the big kids
i can't believe how grown up this threesome is.

by this point, we had all lost track of dylan's fall count.
