I stopped at mile 5.5 to say a prayer for his family and to thank God for the gift of running.

Kayaking on Mercer Slough

Langus and Mercer Slough 004, originally uploaded by msteechur.

We rented a big tandem kayak off Enatai Beach today and headed from Lake Washington into Mercer Slough. It was beautiful, but the stupid kayak did NOT track well at all.

The area around Ebey Slough has been turned to swampland. Apparently someone left a few wagons behind and all that is left at the metal wheels.

This is the bridge out to Spencer Island. We biked from home to the park and stopped to check out nature.

The kiln is in the middle on the hill, and the white area that looks over exposed is lime.

Tom (in the middle) is telling how you can tell which Pod is which, and how he knows which orcas are male and female.

We climbed up here to watch a pod of whales swim by. They were too far out to get a good pic, but we saw them!

Friday, July 20, 2007

Today was our 22nd Anniversary. For our day we ate breakfast out on our back porch under the gazebo. Later on we walked in the POURING rain to go to lunch. The rain let up long enough for us to bbq steaks and corn on the fire in the backyard (I love our firepit)..and then we went to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Tulalip Amphitheater! It was an awesome day (although I was still dealing with the aftermath of pancreatitis).
