We took Cassy up to Kettle Falls for the weekend to visit Bing and Britta. We took a different direction to Kettle Falls than we normally do. We stopped by Spokane for some baby shopping at Babies R Us. Kent found a new tux at Burlington Coat Factory. Then with some frozen yogurt in hand, we drove the final leg of the journey northward.
We loved the cooler temperatures and good times getting outdoors. On Saturday we decided to take a hike on Sherman Pass. We parked one vehicle at the start of the hike and another at the end so it was a nice three mile hike downhill! For eight months pregnant I feel great! The only hard part about this stage in the pregnancy is the fact that I feel I can't breathe. This makes it a little challenging on the steeper sections. Other than that, it felt really good to get out in the woods again.
There were lots of beautiful wildflowers on the hike and this great overlook.
Here I am, 35 weeks pregnant. I've gained about 18 pounds and I'm hoping not to gain too many more!
On Sunday we took the "new" boat out on Lake Roosevelt. Even Cassy came with us!
These tadpoles were everywhere!
To please my Alaskan relatives, you can see me filleting a silver salmon below. It always brings back memories of my five years of filleting salmon at Tonka Seafoods in Petersburg, Alaska. We cooked it up with butter, lemon, onions and Johnny's seasoning. Serve with salad and rice... you can't beat that meal!
