Stehekin, WA

Let the updates begin, yes, just begin, because we all know it will take me a while to get the photos located, the details documented, and the posts published.
In August we had the opportunity to take Olen Ray on his first plane ride to visit our friends in Stehekin and to attend Mistaya's wedding. The trip was awesome, he did awesome, the people are awesome, and here are some photos that I think are awesome. Just a few captions under each one and they are so very out of order.  Please ignore the red-eyes and blurry photos. If I made sure they were all "perfect", you would never get to see them :-)
Play time with Monica
A walk in the field at the ranch down to the barn to see the Fjords
Happy baby with Monica and Mark in the background
Learning to stick out his tongue


Family photo in front of Rainbow Falls, sorta!  I didn't have my tripod so we propped the camera on top of the stroller and you can see it isn't the best option for family photos using the self-timer.
Family photo on the dock with McGregor in the background right before we headed down lake to start our trek back to the south

"Daddy, that is a really big animal!"

Dipping his toes in the creek
Sometimes I think he is trying to figure out why I ALWAYS have a small black box in front of my face
Taking a ride! Well, just sitting on the horse really. Check out those legs and those Carharts!
His love for animals just keeps growing and growing!
Hi Daddy!  Waiting for take-off at the Columbia airport.

I think this one was on a plane.  One of the six different planes we were on during the trip.
A little sip of daddy's drink, well more like a little taste of the cup while waiting in the airport.
On the boat on the way up lake. Big thanks to the Davis family for letting us spend the night at their place and ride their boat up lake.  He LOVED the waves.
Sleepy baby!
Enjoying some sunshine while Olen Ray was sleeping on the boat
"I need more cinnamon roll please!"  Visiting with John Wilsey (Beth in the background) after church.
Just pure cuteness here!
Quick picture with Chelsea before she left to go back to work
Having a little bottle with McKenna

Do you think Steven can handle three kids one day???
"Yes, I ended up sleeping in the bed with mommy in the mornings.  I think it was the perfect arrangement for vacation time."  Olen Ray was a little stinker when it came to sleeping while in Stehekin. He just wanted to play instead I guess and nurse 5 times in the  middle of the night :-)
Little buddies!
Sitting with Reed on the down lake boat ride.  Really hoping the wrapper will come off the cinnamon roll.
Met Katie and Nick at the park for a visit in Wenatchee
The married couple!  Mistaya and Jake!
Cruising around the airport and looking pretty comfy!
