Re: huckamungas and gugs

Here are the boys playing at home. Ranier is hiding...
Dahrius smiles.
Ranier is quite obsessed with zapatos, esp. daddy's big ones.

Here's Dahrius trying on daddy's shoe...then Ranier. HAZARDOUS WALKING!!


On the day before Thanksgiving, we went for a hike in the rain at Inverness. S0rry, no photos of the trip. We all had a good time exploring outside, and we found a couple of king bolete mushrooms, which we had for Thanksgiving as an appetizer. Also, we found some very late huckleberries to snack on, and the kids were quite pleased. Ranier begged for "mas huckamungas" (translation: more huckleberries).

Then, the day after Thanksgiving we took a hike in very thick fog to the Sibley Volcanic Area nearby. We were sure there were some views, but we couldn't see further than about 20 feet through the impressively thick fog. It was quite fun...and lent a bit of mystery to the hike.



Here's Dahrius having a snack, resting on volcanic basalt rock.

Ranier had a bit of a cold, and when he was nearly falling asleep in the backpack, we took him out to walk...which he enjoyed quite a lot, esp. when holding Dahrius and mommy's hands.

We also saw a couple of banana slugs on our walk, and Dahrius was quite entranced. Apparently, Ranier was, as well, and said "adios gug" as we left it. This video below shows Ranier asking for Dahrius' HAND and saying ADIOS GUG....
