Matt was out of town a lot, so the kids and I did a lot of adventuring (although we did have some adventures with Matt, too). More beaching with friends on hot days, a hike up Gold Mountain to find it logged (it was so strange but gave us an incredible view), a date with myself, snuggles at home, sunset walks and homegrown daisies, trips to Wild Waves, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, and the Tacoma Zoo/Aquarium with friends, checking out our local Planetarium show, sleepovers and roller skating, a family camping/hiking trip, homegrown veggies, a sunbathing pooch, and more fun outside together.
