Happy Father's Day everybody! Today was a nice lazy day, just what the father ordered. We have been blessed with awesome weather this weekend, not to mention that my preliminary reconnaissance of the mountains is significant for normal snow melt, meaning I'll get into the mountains before August!
So today I dragged the family down the road to the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge for a nice walk. The kids did the Junior Ranger (Refuge Manager doesn't have that great of a ring to it) thing while there.
We didn't see any exotic wildlife, unless you count the gray squirrel as exotic. The kids still had a very nice time looking for different animals, though.
Catherine had a great idea for the trip home. We pass a local farm stand on the way to Nisqually NWR which sells local fruits and veggies. She thought it'd be nice to get some fresh strawberries and cherries. Strawberries are in full season right now, and the Rainier Cherries are just starting to come into season.
I love this time of year! Catherine made some strawberry lemonade, which was of course delicious. Have a great day everybody, and Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. Cheers,
Marc
