While at the store recently, the cashier mentioned a fun family-friendly hike nearby. So on a bright Saturday, we set out to discover Horse Thief Butte. It was an easy 30 min. drive and pretty easy to walk around.
Goldendale really lives up to its name. We have plenty of golden afternoons so here a smattering of pictures of how we enjoy them.
Easter was smaller this year, obviously, no one was doing anything big with COVID running rampant. We were also far removed from my methodist friends so we made do at home. On Sat in between sessions of General Conference, we had a little Easter egg hunt. We dyed a billion eggs, the kids had a blast.
I feel like an easter egg! 36 weeks pregnant.

Recently I had been asked to help out with the Young Women's group at church a few times. They were missing a counselor and I was happy to help out. One of the actrivites was painting to Bob Ross. It was fun, but Bob goes a little fast for most of the kids to follow. Later Henry did his own painting. All of my kids are very artistic. It's fun to see them experiment and develop.
The Beatles have a song, "When I'm 64" well, this year we celebrated my Dad turning 65! It was fun to get together and celebrate. We had a taent show where the kids out did themselves and Jessica gave a tearjerking tribute. Mom made Dad's favorite German Chocolate Cake and we all laughed a lot. Really it was a perfect way to celebrate my Dad.
Remember how I said we had had car trouble? Well, we donated our nonworking Quest to a company. They came to remove it and it was quite the spectacle.
This year only Devon made a leprechaun trap. He designed it and made it himself. Unfortunately due to a cold, he was unable to bring it to school and participate with his classmates. COVID strikes again! All the kids had to be home for 10 days because they had colds. oh well.
We started October with a trip to Home Depot. The kids made witch boxes. Charles used the extra pieces to make an homage to Darkwing Du...
