a weekend in the woods... including hazel's first hike!

this past weekend we rented a house in baring, a tiny village on highway 2 in the cascade mountains that was previously only the butt of "baaaaaahhhhh-ring!!" jokes (as in, this is wicked bahring) with my siblings when we drove past it.  but it turns out that there's a cool little rental house with a hot tub and a speakers-in-every-room stereo system right on the riverside!  we were there with our good pals bonnie and ryan (and daughter charlotte) and julie and cam (and daughter sozie).  on sunday we went for a hike to barclay lake, and it was pretty awesome!  the weather was great, and hazel thoroughly enjoyed her first hike in the woods (judging by her amount of looking around... which was lots!).  this bodes well for our trip to kauai in two weeks!
