Lake Cushman

So Silas has a new best friend. The baby in the mirror. We were getting ready for bed the other night and I put him up in front of the mirror and at first he just looked at himself and then he started smiling and wiggling. He thinks he's pretty cute.

So last Saturday we went to Lake Cushman and here are some of the highlights.

Eric was sad to see that this tree had fallen over. The last time he was at this tree it was standing up and he could walk inside it. I can't wait to take him to Humblodt someday so he can see lots of huge trees.

Justin took Miles off the reef at Staircase.

This was the coolest part. Riley wanted to jump off of the big rock into Lake Cushman so Justin carried her up monkey style...

and then dropped her into the water. She was such a stud! We were all really proud of her for doing it and she was really brave. You can't see him but Eric's in the water to catch her.

Funny Eric story: We were talking about what house Silas would be in if he went to Hogwarts and we've decided he would be in Slytherin because his name just sounds like it belongs. Then Eric used his parsal tongue to show us how cool Silas's name sounds in parsal tongue. I didn't know when I married him that he could speak parsal tongue. It's pretty cool. :)
