Captain Cook State Park

8/3/09 Doug had to go back to work after a week of vacation.

First thing in the morning, the boys got their long overdue haircuts.

Ethan looking handsome with his new haircut and birthday outfit

I took Ethan to physical therapy and returned with a new bike for Brenden. It fits him much better.

Greg and Grant worked on the tile - thank you, thank you, thank you.

When Doug came home from work, we went up to Captain Cook State Park.

On the phone again - "Hi Kirsten!"

I believe Doug's mom is saying, "Douglas, don't you take a picture of me!"

Brenden is filling Nolan's pockets with rocks

Brenden kept telling me that he found "ear molds" and I thought, "Yeah, some of these rocks look like ear molds." It wasn't until about a half an hour later that he said, "No, like the gem, ear molds..." "OH! Emeralds!" Brenden and Nolan both found LOTS of "milky white." (see Denali Day 2 post)
