Back to normal

Ryan has seemingly completely recovered from his limp. Took about 4 days and in that time he didn't slow down much. The whole thing was odd and we'll probably never know if it truly was transient synovitis, or pulled muscle or what....

I am thankful he's back to his usual.

I love this one! Below is the Ballard Locks. We probably spent 3 hours there. So much to see this time of year. Thousands upon thousands of Sockeye. A big ole' fat seal, enjoying a bounty of sockeye to feast on. Blue Heron hanging out. Indian fishermen retrieving fish from their nets. Boats coming and going, water rushing in and out of the locks. Ryan was fascinated by it all. By the time we tried to leave, Ryan had hit his limit and started a nice fit protesting the walk back to our car. A very nice Mom of two boys was walking by and saw all this. She started talking to Ryan, saying they were done with their visit at the locks, and headed back to their car too. She asked Ryan if he wanted to walk with them and Wa-La! Fit over. He thought it was so cool to walk to the car with these two boys and their Mom.

Thank You Mom of two boys, for knowing what I was up against and pitching in! Mom's ROCK! She said to me, "Been there, done that." We'll definitely pay that one forward if we have the chance in the future. The incredibly cool fish ladders.

Unloading for the ride home.

Sign of a successful outing.
