Visit at Thunderbird
The picture above is taken while standing along side the Skyhomish River about 100 yrds from our camp site at Thousand Trails Thunderbird Preserve near Monroe Washington. We have mentioned before that this Thousand Trails Preserve is one of our favorites and it is close enough for our Sons and Families to come for a visit and stay over if they desire. A couple of weeks ago Bill, Heidi, Mason and Maddie came to stay the week-end. The Kids had a blast in the pool, at the playground, and camping out with Grandma and Grandpa. The Park has a lot of activities for all but especially the kids as the activities director held a pet outing where the kids made their own pets and then paraded them around the park for all to see. Pictures that follow:
As is sometimes the case neighbors joined in for a bring a dish to pass supper and what was nice is that Bill and Family were present to also enjoy the company of our neighbors. Steven and MaryHelen Lester, their son Brian and his son Riley came over as did another neighbor, Norman Berg Sr. and his dog Max. Norman supplied a huge half Salmon caught in a neighboring river to the Skyhomish and with Kathleens new marinade and it cooked on the grill all said it was very good. There sure wasn't much left. We did have enough to make up a plate for an elderly gentleman who lived by himself in his RV a short distance away.
Bill, Kathleen, and the kids went hiking on the trails around the Preserve and got a good workout in the rain forest.
