It’s family camp next week for First Baptist Church, and we’re headed from Sedro-Woolley across the northern half of the Cascade Loop to Winthrop, WA.   We’re praying for spiritual growth and an increase in our church family’s unity, for safety on the mountain roads as everyone travels and for safety in the hiking and games/activities.  Trey is sooo excited to be headed to camp!  And so are we! :D

Trey and his hairy "little chicken-man" (as he calls it!) Thinking seriously about the hairy little chicken-man. Trey with some of his artwork. He wouldn't hold it himself. Artist's prerogative, I suppose. Trey's getting big enough to eat pudding in the car without getting it on his clothes or carseat. Yeah! Chocolate on the face? Well, that's just part of the joy of it! Trey drawing on the AMAZING GIFT we received today! ]]> http://thepabodys.wordpress.com/2009/06/05/random-birthday-week-happiness/feed/ 0 thepabodys Sauk Mountain: Our (Mis)Adventure http://thepabodys.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/sauk-mountain-our-misadventure/ http://thepabodys.wordpress.com/2009/06/03/sauk-mountain-our-misadventure/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:16:02 +0000 pabodys http://thepabodys.wordpress.com/?p=1340 ]]>

Tuesdays are Steve’s day off, and we are trying to explore some local natural places together as a family.  We had so much fun on our Little Mountain hike Saturday that we resolved to hike the highly recommended Sauk Mountain (say “sock” mountain) on the next available occasion, which happened to be today!

The views we saw were astounding.

They truly took our breath away.

And made our hearts race.

The trail was much more amazing than we had dreamed.

Even now, we can hardly believe it.

This was our view at the highest peak we reached:

THIS, after almost two hours of digging.

We got stuck in the snow on June 2.  Yes, in the snow.  On June 2.

We were so thankful to find campers a little higher up this road that loaned us their shovels.  Yes, there were. two. shovels.

(Did we mention we were in the middle of NOWHERE?!)

Trey thought it was all grand fun (I think he thought all the snow was a special arrangement we’d made for his birthday), and really, before we got stuck, we saw some fabulous scenery.

Imagine how beautiful the actual climb will be, once the snow melts on the access road! ;)

Please keep praying for us as we adjust to life in Washington.  We need it! :D

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for sharing this precious boy with us!

Please help us show him Jesus’ love every day and please give us the wisdom we desperately need as we search Your Word for it.

Thank you for Your love for us!

We took Trey to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and Park yesterday for an early birthday treat.  It was so much fun!!

Come visit us, and we’ll show you, too! ;-)

Trey's Trip to the Tacoma Zoo Mt. Ranier and the zoo Sweet boy at the zoo entrance. The mysterious mountain was "towering" behind them, but it didn't show up in this picture. This monkey came right up to say "Hi!" to Trey. "This is a porcupine." Elephants! Trey and Daddy and the Sleeping Owl Trey and Mommy and the Penguins Friendly walruses The beautiful beluga Trey was brave to feed the goats!

“We’re going to the zoo, we’re going to the zoo!”

Today we’re headed to Tacoma for an early birthday surprise for Trey at Point Defiance Park.  We’re headed first to the zoo/aquarium, then perhaps to explore some of the trails, depending on how tired our little birthday boy is!  We’re excited about exploring more of this absolutely GORGEOUS area.  Our God is a mighty Creator!
