Evan and I thought our Labor Day plans of hiking and camping were shot when we found out his grandpa's memorial service was to be held on Friday. However, on Sunday, we received a call from our friends, the MacDonalds, who invited us up to Seattle for a sleepover! We took them up on their offer.
We stayed up late playing games, taking turns holding the 5-week old, ADORABLE baby girl, just chatting, and having fun! The next morning, we headed out to eat a HUGE breakfast at the well-known Maltby cafe. It lived up to its charm and good food (including a nearly 5-lb. cinnamon roll)!
After we were all stuffed, we headed out on a hike. Unfornunately, the weather didn't cooperate so we had to get some ponchos for the two of us who forgot our rain jackets. (I know, we live in Washington... we shouldn't go anywhere without rain jackets!) It ended up being a great hike up to Wallace Falls. The two guys carried one kid and us girls carried the gear (water & diaper bag). This adventure was proof you can go hiking with two small children, even though we all got soaked! The rain started dumping after we started the hike and we decided to keep going. We were soaked clear through (except for the children who were protected), but we all had a lot of fun in the process! Here's to more Stout/MacDonald family hiking adventures. :)

So fun, Sarah!
Love the picture of you, Evan and Nina in the pack on Evan's back. I imagine there will be a picture just like that but of one of your kids in the pack!
