While Tor is away at sea, Lars, Odin and I flew up to Alaska to spend some quality Grandparent time. We are having a blast! Sleep started off really, really badly, as soon as Tor left Seattle, but it looks like we have now made the transition to no nap, and so far things are pretty good. It helps that I have full time support from Dad and Lynn...
Friends from Seattle who spent the last 2 years in Sitka and welcomed a baby while there are sailing back to Seattle. Since they came through Ketchikan while we were here, we had a chance for a quick visit. Hi guys!
After our sailing trip this summer, there is a lot of nautical based pretend play going on right now. In this picture they are putting away the anchor chain, otherwise known as a dog leash.
Lars and Odin and water, be prepared for serious play. Add squirt bottles to the mix and you have the ingredients for a long time of completely occupied little boys.
Watering all of the plants is serious work!
What? Don't distract me. I've got work to do.
Preparing for a hot dog roast and marshmallow toasting. We need green sticks!
Working with Grandpa to start the fire.

Taking a break to dry out and warm up by the fire...that wading pool got me all wet!
The three guys by the fire.
Yep, we had 2 little wet naked boys running around on a 66 degree SE Alaska day.
Finally, dinner!
The hot dog is roasted, now I need the bun and all the fixings!
Yum! Toasting marshmallows. Lars just wanted "regular" marshmallows. No S'mores for him, but Odin was definitely into the S'mores.
The transition to no-nap is a tough one... but strangely freeing. It's so great to see your boys - they are getting SO BIG! Have fun!
