Reflections
Alexandra got her first taste of camping last week when we spent a couple days at Kalaloch, an Olympics National Park campsite along the Pacific (click here to look at the photo gallery). Our beach explorations included poking around in some tide pools full of sea stars, anemones, mussels and other creatures that didn't seem to mind a little girl's curious touch. At Alexandra's insistence, Dad and daughter waded repeatedly into the numbingly cold water until our feet turned bright red.
We enjoyed camping together in our new garage-size tent, although it was a bit chilly at night. This trip also introduced babygirl to two other essentials of camping: s'mores and hot dogs cooked over a campfire.
Although she had a terrific time, two nights seemed to be her limit. We were congratulating ourselves as parents for the prescience not to have planned to stay through Memorial Day weekend.

Dear Rochelle and John,
I finally got around to checking out your blog and what a treat! Alexandra is so cute! I can't believe she's so grown up! I'm happy you're enjoying Washington. Will you be in Texas for Assembly? I'm sure you've heard we've probably had more rain than you have the past month, but we'll roll out the hot, dry Texas weather for our out-of-state Assembly guests.
Blessings, Sharon Gardner
