Over the weekend

Saturdays we have planned out. For the rest of the year. Pretty much. At least for the rest of the gardening season. Scott has put himself in charge of this year (I don't mind). He has drawn out the plans, literally, and has already started prepping our beds. He's watched tons of YouTube videos and borrowed books from the library. Our garden is going to be at least 4x's as big as it has been because he's got three more beds he has created now that most of our chopped wood is gone. It's nice though, because that means Addi will be going outside again with him. She really loves hanging outside with him.
It might be hard to tell- but he dug down about 8 inches right here and you can see where there is about 4 inches of soil and then a perfect line of where the clay starts...He's been digging all of it up so our roots can go further. What a champ.
Later in the same day we took a drive up to Pilot Mt. and met some friends of ours for the trip. It's only about 40 minutes away and we wanted to get a few of the geocaches that are dedicated to Pilot Mt.
The first was at a dedicated viewpoint of the mt.

another cache
The rule is that you cannot place geocaches in national or state parks. However, you can do virtual caches. That is where you take a picture at the determined place and log online with the picture that you were there. It's the sneaky way to get around it legally.

In the beginning Addilyn wanted to be held the whole time. Well I wasn't about to carry her- she is fully capable of walking! After the first 10 or so minutes she finally stopped asking and actually refused to be carried. She was having a blast walking around the rocks and climbing up and down. There was some leftover snow as well on the shaded parts of the trails that she made sure to step on.
It's cool to think that 2 years ago, Addi was in the same position here as Levi was this past weekend. Gosh, look at their blue eyes. Here is from our first time visiting Pilot Mt. Unlike that trip, we just drove to the top instead of hiking the whole thing.

Niel and Karen's car got stuck on the side of the road. We parked to go find the last cache and when they got back, well, they made a mess. From the left over snow and rain it made for quite a soft shoulder!
