Gold Creek Pond

My friends are super awesome and way more adventurous than me and created a group called Fun Fridays with Friends. Basically every Friday they pick somewhere new to explore and make it happen rain or shine.
I feel like I used to be good at this, but then I got super offended by Seattle's weather and quit trying so I love that they push through because ITS AWESOME! I have only bee one time and it was so much fun.

This week we went to Gold Creek Pond at the summit of Snoqualmie Pass. Totally stroller, 1 mile around, and beautiful. It "sprinkled" for like a minute and then sun even came out for a minute. My friends are the coolest.

So as it turns out, Kelsey was walking crazy the slow the whole time and just started crying for no reason. My girls are super emotional, so I didn't really think much about it, but looking back this was especially weird. Well I got home and she had a fever and was totally sick! I felt terrible. I think the worst part was that I told her to change her attitude and instead of letting on that she was sick, she put on a brave face and walked the whole way without a single complaint. Oh how I wish I could be a softer mother. I get so worked up and angry about nothing and instead of showing compassion and letting my kids be little, I ALWAYS expect them to be 30. I don't know if I will ever change, but I do hope that I will

Madison cracks me up in this picture

She had a small melt down because as she was running to touch the water she stepped in goose poop. She truly didn't know if she should remain excited about the water or terrified about the poop.
