My Dad, Matt, Sam, Arlo and I have been so busy doing yard work and exploring we've hardly no
ticed an entire week fly by! Dad's been incredibly handy around the house helping out with a variety of projects from painting our metal railings a nice shiny black to helping 
me trim up my wild rose bush. We've managed to get some great exploring in between projects.On Thursday Sher
ri took us driving and hiking in the hills above Wenatchee. We were able to see the cherry harvest at all 
stages including the immediate harvest with pickers camping in the woods. Very interesting.We took Dad to Leavenworth for dinner one night and walked around the Bavarian village. It is quite hokey, but a must see when visiting the area.
We had dinner and went for a walk on Blackbird Island. The weather in Leavenworth is much more moist and the woods look very 
different. Sam was scared of the woods and kept asking if dinosaurs lived there! It was pretty cute and imaginative of him. The woods did look prehistoric!We've done a pretty good job of just hangin' out as well. This weekend we went to three BBQ's and managed to have nice slow mornings with breakfast on the deck or at least coffee on the deck. Dad has been enjoying the ease of our wireless network and the laptop...
