More Cousin Fun

Becky, Emerald and Crystal were hear a few weeks ago. When I was getting ready to take them to the airport Keaton starting packing his suitcase.  When we were leaving I told Crystal she could sit in Keaton's car seat.  His response was "Where will I sit?" I think he really did think he was going with them.  Then the next day I asked him if he wanted to go to the park.  He asked if we could call Crystal and Emerald to see if they wanted to come too.  It must be very confusing to a three year old to have them in his life around-the-clock for a week and then gone.

Swimming!

Craft and Reading Time!

(Keaton is wearing pink pants, a straw belt cause they were too big, and a brown/pink shirt. Thank you cousins for letting me borrow your clothes since I had SO many accidents.)

Mt Rainier

When we were kids we practically lived at Mt. Rainier.  Running around and around the visitor's center (that use to be round) waiting for mom or dad to get back from climbing. Somehow our parent's even got all three of us to Camp Muir when we were very young (base camp for those going all the way to the top).

My dad has climbed Mt Rainier 26 times and my mom 4 times.  This was a very, very special place for both of them.

This weekend we took a trip down there to remember our mother/wife and honor her wishes at this mountain that was such a big part of our parent's life.

Annual Swedish Summer Run

I'm not sure how many years we have been doing this but it's something I started with my Mom and my friend Misty started joining us back then.  This year "Leah Morgan's Marchers" were: TJ, Rachel, Keaton, Nolan, Dad, Aunt Claudia, Misty and Rae.

We did take a little short cut this year which was expected due to a certain 3.5 year old walking instead of being in stroller.  But Keaton's practice at the YMCA paid off and he ran pretty fast for awhile, until he fell down  Instead of learning to walk, he started out running before 1 years old and skipped the walking part!

It is probably the activity we look forward to most during the Summer. Spending the day remembering the most giving, patient, loving Mom/Wife.
