The End of Anya's Summer 2014

Yet another beautiful Seattle summer has come to an end.  Lot's of little things happened, so we're throwing together a quick summary of the last few weeks.



Anya finally learned how to drive.  Here we see her scooting around at Magnuson park and getting annoyed at traffic, just like mommy taught her. 
Seattle seldom gets rain to speak of.  This video shows that Anya is (yet again) her mother's daughter.  And Laika shows that she is her father's dog.

No summer is complete with out a trip to the Evergreen State Fair.  Here we see Anya practicing to be a marine hamster.

Also at the ESF, Anya got on her first big person ride (she was "taller than this" and was able to get on.  Seemed to like it.
She made a very good friend of a sheep.  We asked her to quit harassing the animals, but this sheep had a different plan.

Anya brought her good buddy Eva H to Remlinger Farms. 


And of course fishing with dad.  Anya is still crazy about fishing.  This summer we discovered that the closest water is also the most productive for our needs.  The Arboretum has tons of fish we don't want to eat, so the kid is never bored and I don't need to clean anything.  We smash down the barbs, and catch and release all day long.

An early shot of one of our more productive mornings.

Here we see evidence of Anya the fish whisperer at work.  She really does love to handle wild animals.  Speaking of which...
Anya's yearly snake handling revival in the woods.  This year it was at Dash Point camping with about 1/2 the PEPS kids.   


Here we find our love children making a stinking nest of sea weed.  Which they claim was necessary as a "clam sanctuary".


The PEPS kids. Liam in action.
