A Forest Escape to Brinnon

Monday was a beautiful day for a drive to the Peninsula.




We were making our way to Brinnon to visit the Reimanns, and I was getting scared. Kevin was already getting his "Alan" on. Those two are out of control when they get together!!

The driveway to their cabin in the woods - always my favorite moment before arriving at their house.


The first thing we did upon arrival was take a walk to the river nearby. This is sort of a tradition.



All the kids like to throw rocks into the river...




... while the ladies referee the kids and catch up on girl talk.


Emery & Isaac

Having fun!


Such a gorgeous setting!


Later on Isaiah and Emery showed Isaac their chickens (after, ahem, terrorizing the poor escaped chickens with a screaming chase back to their coop).


I guess they have grown accustomed to it since they weren't phased for very long, calming down enough for a little show and tell petting.




We were pleased to spend the night after Alan & Krysten charmed us into the idea (they didn't have to try very hard). After we got the kids to bed, we ate ice cream and played Marbles / Aggravation. Boo, the boys won. But we had a great time! It's just too bad that we only get to do this once a year.

yes, chicken chasing to get them back in is still going on, but the screaming part of it was unusual - must have been something they thought you would like or something?!?!? silly kids. We are so happy you guys could stop by for a day/night. It was SO GOOD to see you!
