Hooray for Mabel!

I had a weekend packed with fun and adventure! My mom, dad, sis and I left home about 2:30 p.m. Friday and headed north for Ichiro bobblehead night at Safeco Field. The Mariners lost to the A's - actually, pitcher Batista lost it for them by giving up 3 runs in the first inning! But it was a very nice night with the stadium roof open. We all wore matching Ichiro shirts in our top-row seats:
The view in front of us:
The view behind us:
Big-league baseball and a sunset over Puget Sound from the same seats - not too shabby!

Saturday, we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and drove out Interstate 90 to North Bend, Wash., for a hike at Little Si. I have never been on a more crowded trail, but it was still fun. Sunday, Steve and I went up the Angel's Rest trail. Since it was a conditioning hike for our upcoming Mount Adams climb, we loaded our packs with weight and worked our legs and lungs up to the viewpoint. Adams was barely visible peaking over the hills across the way.
Brad spent the weekend at Smith Rock in Central Oregon with his Mazamas Advanced Rock class. Hopefully he'll have a few minutes to tell you his story.
