When Mom's away

One of the things I love about my job is that I get to spend a ridiculous amount of time getting paid to work outside.  Today was one of those awesome days and I spent it on the sandy shores of Vancouver Lake at REI Paddle Demo Day.  Check out the photos here, I seriously have the best job ever.

So, while I "worked" today, B was the scheduled Kate care-giver and those two decided to head to the Gorge for a hike up Angel's Rest.  Hmmm, he might have the best job ever.

Kate wonders what that shiny, warm thing is.  Oh, and why the heck the sky is that crazy color.

 "Let me show you daddy, you hold this end and then this sharp end here?  See, you wave that in the air and put it in your mouth.  I can't believe you didn't know how trekking poles worked. You're such a rookie."
