Instead we opted to head on down to the beaver pond to take the canoe out for a spin. We received a fantastic life jacket from Lallie and Papa yesterday for Myrick, so we were all safe as we checked out the resident muskrats, beavers, red-winged blackbirds and Baltimore orioles. Bugs weren't too bad. While it's nice to reminisce about Seattle weather, I think we're all ready for some sun 'round these parts!
