2 weeks worth here

So we have lot to go over here, so pay attention! Ok good!
So 9 days ago (Fri) we left Woodinville to go over to my parents house. We spent the night and the next afternoon we left to drive to Utah. I know what you are thinking "Wow! they're brave!" Well you would think either brave or foolhardy, but in the end my children did exceptionally well. While we were down there we spent time together as Bros. We have alot of fun! We saw my and sis, and cousins got to see each other and we got to see our Aunts and Uncles and My grandparents Hulse. We ran down to Provo (in the middle of a storm to see Lyn's Grandpa and parents. That was fun, Man you shoulda seen the look on her moms face when she opened the door to see us - Awesome! It was Grandpa Hulses 80th B-day so we had a celebration. The truth is that he is not doing so well in his battle against cancer and we don't think that he'll be with us much longer. I am really sad to see him like this and I will miss him. But I am thankful for the knowledge that I will see him again in the afterlife and that we can be together as a family. Any how, Monday on the way back they read and played for nearly 11 hours without any fuss. So as a reward we let them watch Disney's Fantasia on my laptop. They could have made it the whole way with out, but I thought that it would be a nice reward for them. I really don't understand why parents put in DVDs for their kids when they are going across town, or even a few hours away. Haven't they read that TV is the suspected cause of ADHD? TV really does rot the brain!
The weather here has been incredible, sunny and mid-50's for most of the week. Friday Lyn and I went to the NW Flower and Garden Show.(w/o kids, thanks to our dear friend Laura) It was downtown so we took the bus. We (I) had alot of fun seeing fresh new landscapes and cool new plants. Afterward we went to the Westin Hotel to the Coldwater Grill for a VERY fancy meal. (we had a buy 1 get 1 free coupon) It was probably THE fanciest meal we have ever had. Super classy! As we ate we realized that we had missed Valentines the week before, so this was our V-day. I proposed to Lyn 10 years ago!!!!! Wow time flies.

Yesterday we decided to go Hiking. We went over to Issaquah to a place called Poopoo Point. It was a 1.5 mile hike with a 1,500 foot elevation gain. At the top you could see for 70 miles And we had an unobstructed view of Mt Rainier. Henry hiked the whole thing by himself AND had energy to run around chasing a Frisbee afterwards. At the top is where Paragliders jump off. After we had been there for 45 min a truckload of them came up. One by one they set up their chutes and flew off. It was really cool. We had such a nice day. Today we are kinda sore, this being our first hike of the season (and I had to carry Fern on my back the whole way) I think that we will do the hike more often. I have set a goal to Summit Mt. Rainier in the summer of 2010. So I need to get in shape.
