We started out hiking Squak Mountain in Issaquah. It's really beautiful and even the drive is nice with trees creating a canopy over the road. Ryan wasn't digging the backpack today so it was a really slow hike, but the kids had fun picking huckleberries and learning about moss and ferns, jumping off of rocks, sliding down hills and seeing slugs *shudder*.

Here they are "sliding" down the dirt hill or in Ryan's case, just falling.

Afterwards the boys napped and I got a LOT of yardwork done. It was nice and relaxing. Then Grandpa J watched the boys while I attended a Relief Society craft night. This is where the aviation comes in. Max was promised that if he had a really good day, Grandpa J would build a model airplane with him. It was on his mind all day! The boys had great Grandpa time, and Grandpa did survive (although he went to bed earlier than usual, hmmmm ; ) and I had some girl time. Win-win!
