Phonics Desk Phun!
Alec is nearly two. I thought this video Julie shot best showed his aptitude for future reading and knowing his letters and sounds.

Day Trip to the Lodge
After filling our bellies with Sunday breakfast we decided to do some exploring between here and Lake Quinalt. Our first stop was the Quinalt National Fish Hatchery. We enjoyed a self-guided tour of the rearing ponds, hatchery room and fish ladder. Over 8 million chinook, coho, chum and steelhead are released each year from this facility. Impressive.
We then headed North toward the Lodge located on beautiful Lake Quinalt and in the rain forest at Olympic National Park. We dined in the Roosevelt Dining Room (Named for FDR, who made a visit to the Lodge while President) There is a lot of history at the Lodge and it was fascinating to tour the grounds. The best part...less than 40 minutes from Seabrook to Olympic National Park and we've just scratched the surface.

Sunday Surprise!
Our house made the front cover of today's Business section of the News Tribune. While the focus was not on our house, but on our friend Casey, it was a surprise to see it there front and center. Congratulations to Casey and everyone at Seabrook, what a great write up!

Grand Opening
During yesterday's perfect afternoon I decided it would be as good a time as any to crack open the first bottle of the Alaska Frontier Ale. It did not disappoint. I will be dropping off a few for friends around Seabrook.

Saturday at Seabrook
The weather was beautiful today. We enjoyed a relaxing day doing everything from searching for slugs and tadpoles, to hot tubbing and roasting marshmallows. I've added a bunch of photos to the May '08 gallery as well. More to come tomorrow.
