Happy Birthday Sammy!

Sam just turned 19 yesterday! Her mom came up to celebrate with us, and we had a pretty fun day. Poor Sammy had to work on her b-day, but only until 12, so we still had plenty of time for festivities!

Since we rarely get to spend any time outside (other than waiting for the bus) Sammy decided that she wanted to go on an outdoor adventure on the big day. We went down to the Spokane River, out in the middle of the woods and walked all along the pathways. It was so nice! There's a bridge that feels like it's moving as you walk across it, yikes! (Although Sam's mom made it sound much scarier than it really was!) Of course I fell on my butt on one of the trails. I'm already uncoordinated on a level surface, so when you combine it with loose rocks, raised tree roots, and a steep incline, bad things happen!

The weather was wonderful though! Sunny, but with a cool breeze. It began to rain a little later, but by then we were already on our way back. We ate at Sonics (delicious!) and stopped by the store to get a cheesecake (again, delicious!) and soon me and Sam were settled down with our cake, and watched "Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist". Sammy's mom had to leave, but we still had a nice time relaxing.

Anyone up for a swim?

That's quite a bridge!!

Sammy looking cute, while I just look strange...

They're so adorable! (That's the place where I fell down by the way!)

Aww!

Apparently I don't do well in nature!

That was such a cool looking tree!

Sammy and da momma!

Sammy flashing people on the mountain!

That tree got a lot of love!

Sammy, the conqueror of rocks!

MUSCLE WOMAN!!

Fire!

Someone call the fire department!

Time to feast!
