Daddy is crack-a-lackin’!

We went on a hike today at the Kitsap Heritage Park. Found a lot of neat rocks and had a great time relaxing with the family. I think Daddy had to work all last weekend, plus it was The Hobbit production, so it was especially nice to just CHILL! Daddy really enjoyed cracking rocks open with the geological hammer :)

What’s been goin’ on around here?

So what in the world has been going on around here? 6 weeks of pictures just posted tonight!!! Lots of fun with Gramma and Richard undertaking amazing home projects from drip irrigation systems, automatic waterers and lighting which has made the longer nights bearable at last. Ben has learned to read, and is enjoying spelling and writing, and drawing. Both boys love shooting hoops, ALL the time! They have friends over to whittle and dig in the “test pit” (Sam’s big dig by the maple tree) then put safety glasses on for rock cracking and mineral identification. We’ve been mountain biking and road tripping, including a trip out to Spokane to see cousins and the Grand Coulee Dam on the way back. All the pictures are posted in the album. Click any of these to get there. See both July and Aug if you have a minute to browse. Thanks for stopping by! We miss our family and friends, but hope these pictures keep us close.  Love to all, the Krugs

Sam checking his rocks for minerals and gems. He uses a chisel to score them then cracks them open with a sledge hammer.

He's very careful to get safety glasses on every time. We can't find the sledge hammer, so he's using a hammer today.
