Hike on Levy With My Daughter and Grandchildren

Bronka joined us on the levy with my daughter, Kristina, who was visiting from Virginia.  Her children, Jacob, 7 and Zachary, 5.  Also, my two grandchildren, Eli, 11 and Ethan 6, joined their cousins.  It is always fun throwing rocks in the Nisqually River.

Hike on Saturday, January 4, 2014 from Narada Falls to Reflection Lakes

 

 

On Saturday, January 4, Bronka and I decided to go on a hike from Narada Falls to Reflection Lakes.   It was a beautiful, sunny, but cold day.    Bronka and I did not take our snowshoes, but used our micro spikes as the snow level was low. 

 

 

After having a small snack at the frozen lake, we headed back and ran into a couple who recognized Bronka from when she had summated Mt. Rainier over 10 years ago.    We had a nice conversation with Wayne and Roxanne Lieb.   What a nice couple.    They asked if I would take a picture of them with Bronka, which I did.      Hopefully, we will get to see them again.

Hike to Glacier Vista and West Lake on Friday, October 25, 2013

On Friday, October 25, Me, Bronka , Wally  and my doggie, Buster, went on a hike to Glacier Vista.  This was the first time I had ever hiked there and it is one of the most beautiful hikes I have been on. There was an amazing view of Mt. Rainier.    Bronka, Wally and I had lunch there.     Then we hiked down to West Lake which was another mile from Glacier Vista.    It was an amazing, beautiful day with great friends.

Trip to Poulsbo, on Thursday, October 17, 2013

On Thursday, October 17, 2013, Bronka and I took a trip to Poulsbo.  Our first stop was at Silverdale as we visited the Children of the Nations .  We had some clothing to contribute, which they happily accepted.   Children of the Nations builds orphanages and schools in Africa, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.  Chris and his wife, Debbie, are wonderful  people who give so much of their time and talents to helping these children.   They were so kind to Bronka and gave us a tour of their facilities. 

Then we drove to Poulsbo and went into most of the shops there.   We had so much fun.   We even stopped and had a nice lunch.  Bronka loved the soup she ordered.   We also walked along the harbor.    We had a wonderful day.

Hike at Pack Forest on Sunday, October 13, 2013

Bronka was joined by Wally, Daryl , Tom, as well as Ted and myself to Pack Forest in Eatonville.   It was a cloudy day, but nice to get out.  We all had a wonderful time.   Pack Forest is a great place to go on a hike when weather is bad in Ashford.  Ted and I go there almost every week with Bronka.

The Little Mashal Water Fall is so beautiful!
