My parents are here

...and they brought beautiful weather with them!

Child labor at its finest, ha ha. I guess sturdy Dutch kids are good for something :)

We never tire of visiting Washington Park, always so beautiful.

Another day we went up a boardwalk trail at Baker Lake, through a rainforest with beautiful old cedar trees, some around 700 years old. We discovered that rainforests often have very old trees because the climate is so wet that forest fires rarely occur. Also the trees often grow in long straight rows because they are taking advantage of the fertile remains of older fallen trees.

There were lots of blueberries & salmonberries to pick.

Mount Baker in the background!
