Smoke Farm Excursion

Mother's Day was spent at Smoke Farm, Northeast of Arlington, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.

A hike through tree tree stands and large open fields led to...

 ...the Stillaguamish River.  Boys and sticks:

I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day :) Smoke Farm was awesome.  We are hoping to return and camp up there in August for their lo-fi art festival.

Mother's Day Tea Party 2012

Pictures from this year's Mother's Day Tea at Silas' school: 

The table was set by the children (and the food prepared by them as well.  Silas made me a place-mat that said "Silas' Mom." There's also a sheet in which Silas answered questions about his mom.

This is the Muppet's Tour Van that Silas created for his classmates.  Underneath is a sheet the teacher's made in which all of the children tall about what they would do and see while traveling on the tour bus.

 Silas and one of his friends.  Beautiful kids:

They made a path through  the garden outside of school and explored.

We are getting out of town for Mother's Day today so that I won't be tempted to spend the day doing yard work.  

Happy Mother's Day!
