Moulton Falls

Today we took a nice drive down to Battle Ground, Wa to go hiking at Moulton Falls. Moulton falls is on the east fork of the Lewis River.

This is a picture of a walking bridge that goes over the river. We took time to stop on the bridge and admire the view.

It was a nice day for a hike.

Here is a picture of us on the bridge, Logan is holding the camera!

Here I am pushing the kids.

And here is my view most of the hike.

Someday, maybe when the kids are a little older we will be able to go up the trails to the campground! I think the sign says it is 8.5miles up.

Here is the little blurb about the Bells Mountain Trails.

After the hike we stopped by the restrooms and while Lillian and I were inside Daniel and Logan were playing with the dog...

All in all it was a nice trip. Next time we decided we would either come without the kids or make a day of it and pack the kids in packs so we could try out some of the side trails.

Making the first cut

On July 5th we took Lillian to get her first haircut! Grandma Shari, Aunt Teen (Christine), Logan, Lillian and I all piled in the Jeep and made the short drive over to see Jane. Shari had an apt to get her hair trimmed and we decided while we were up we would go ahead and take Lillian to get hers done as well. Jane cuts almost all of Daniel's side of the family's hair so we knew she was in good hands. Jane put a padded board across the arms of the chair and up she went. Lillian did pretty good while she was getting her hair done and of course her favorite part was the sucker at the end! I am so glad we took her to see Jane! Combing her hair after bathtime is now SO much easier and in my opinon she looks pretty darn cute with her new do!

As many of you know we are currently in the process of potty training. At first Lillian wanted nothing to do with the matter. I have been very frustrated with her unwillingness to try but on July 6th out of nowhere she took it upon herself to go sit on the potty and go pee pee! Praise GOD!!!! Everyone kept telling me one day it will just all click and she will put it all together and she did. I am so happy to see my little girl growing up but kind of sad at the same time. First we take her to get her first hair cut and now she is going pee pee in the potty. Before I know it she will be starting pre-school! My how time flies!

New Ventures

Recently I noticed that along with Facebook profiles, just about everyone has a Blog. Being that I am the one home with the kids 99% of the time I thought why not give the rest of our friends and family a chance to see what we are up to thru a blog. So today I am creating the Henrickson Family Blog! Real original I know but I am going to be blogging about our family so why not name it after out family!

A lot has changed in 2010 so I am just going to start with the month of July thus far and will go forward from here. Fourth of July weekend was spent in Bellingham. Daniel's mom, Shari, and her husband, Joey, own Hot Diggity Dogs. They sell hot dogs as a side business on weekends and at different events in Whatcom County. For the 4th of July weekend they had two events scheduled and asked that we come up and learn the ropes of the cart on Saturday and on Sunday help with the main event in Bellingham. Originally we were going to spend the weekend at home but we talked it over and the plans for our weekend were changed. We had a great time visiting with family, working the cart and we were even able to squezze in a drink at Poppe's Martini Bar for a friends birthday! (Thank you Joey and Shari for watching the kids!!!) Before we headed up to Bellingham, Daniel started tossing around the idea of building his own hot dag cart. After countless hours of research and youtube videos he decided to order a video on how to build your own hot dog cart! We took out a small signature loan and thus began Patriot Hot Dogs! In the last 14 days Daniel has been very busy filling out forms and constructing the cart. I am so PROUD of him and all he has accomplished in such a short time. The hot dog cart has been his 'baby' from the begining and I must say he is doing a GREAT job getting everything together! Well, I would love to write more but Logan just woke from his nap so duty calls!

Ps. Sorry the pics are in reverse order but I am new at this! I will try to figure this out a little more before my next entry!
