Throwing rocks is one of Reed and Nash's current favorite activities. Most days include at least one hike to a nearby stream or river to fulfill their stone-throwing passion. Better to throw at the rivers than at the windows!

This is the view from Ecola State Park on the OR coast. We had a beautiful President's Day weekend and enjoyed a day out there on Sunday. The boys loved running along the trails at this park, "mic-micking" (picnicking) and playing soccer on Cannon Beach later.
