On Top of the World

Last Sabbath we took another drive over different mountains to enjoy God’s awesome scenery so close to home.  Miah was at an elevation of over 5800 ft. here.

This is the Sugarloaf Mountain fire lookout.

Miah got to trade some goodies in her first Geocache!  (This shot is for you, Tish.)

Some flower close-ups, (Miah took the center one, of the mountains), looking down on Lake Wenatchee, the lookout, and Glacier Peak to the northwest.

A Day at the Lake

Last week we spent part of a day at a friend’s house on Lake Chelan.  Miah thoroughly enjoyed herself, and didn’t want to leave.

These were the best “smile” shots I was able to capture.  (There are plenty with her head down!)

Over the Mountains

Miah frequently asks us, “Go to the mountains today?”  She loves the great outdoors.  Last Sabbath we drove over the mountains between Entiat and Chelan.  It was a beautiful day, the views spectacular, and we encountered snow.

Watching the river with Daddy.  Unfortunately, this time of year the rivers are too wild to play in.

Here are more views from “on top of the world”, and looking down on Lake Chelan, the 3rd deepest lake in the US.

Daddy, thanks for all the fun things you do with me - the places we go, the quality time you spend with me, and on and on…  You’re the greatest!  I love you!

Visiting Ohme Gardens

June 18th, 2009

This week we visited Ohme Gardens, a little oasis on a hillside near our home.  Miah loves the place, especially the pools.   ↓Here she was late last summer,

↓And on Monday.

At least she didn’t try drinking the water this time.

We climbed and descended the many stone steps with some cousins from out of town.

The shade was quite welcome,

And the views spectacular.

Miah really wanted to splash in the pool behind us!  (And after the photo, she did.)
