ecstatic pretty much sums it up

such great heights

Thanks to a film company, we stayed at a fancy schmancy hotel while Jack Black and others (Steve Martin and Owen "friscalataing dusklight" Wilson, to name a few) filmed on our block. Augie had fun looking at the teeny weeny cars from up on the 18th floor, swimming in the pool and checking out every single nook and cranny of our room.

he really is saying "bath!" in there a few times. trying his hardest, at least.

Grandma & Grandpa time redux

Grandma & Grandpa time!

Cabins, ferry rides, drives, hikes, walks, picnics, fish hatchery discovery, giant fir gazing, birthday cake eating, park visits, swings, BBQs, train rides, Steveston visit, Augie monster attacks and much more.

"Water baby" might be an understatement

Grandma and Grandpa from New Hampshire (via Portland, where Aug's new twin cousins were just born!) came to visit for a few days and while they were here, we went to Bowen Island for an overnighter. Pure, unbridled glee is probably the best description for August's take on swimming.
