Links look like this. Last week's "Honorable mentions: Most popular non-travel posts" is here. And the list of Top 10 travel posts (from 2013, *snicker*) is coming next!
A throwaway post about the latest tweets from @garth_hamilton on Twitter being added to my blog’s sidebar, as well as some other design changes
As if the bad Aerosmith jokes in my earlier Lovin' an Elevator: A tale of entrapment misadventure at PDX Airport weren't desperate enough, I returned to the well for our baby's gender announcement. This one features an early guest photo appearance by baby Levi!
For a change, we had the family (plus a special guest) over to OUR house for Thanksgiving dinner. This post also includes pics from the always-huge day after Thanksgiving extended family dinner at my parent's house.
This was a simple collection of exclusive Daddy-daughter photos from the previous year.
I had so many favorites that the pics spilled over into Father’s Day week photos, Part 2: The Outtakes.

6. Olympic Mountains, Day 1:
The spectacular photos of Mount Ellinor (which I'm climbing this winter season) and Mount Washington from Olympic Mountains, Day 2- Back on the trails took a back seat to family camping photos of Day 1. Okay, so it was only car camping.
As a bonus, the follow-up "Day 2" camping blog boasted another exclusive-- A photo of Lena hiking her first mini trail!

The excitement began to build during our preparations for Brent and Cheryl's wedding in Sunriver, near Bend.
And the Kathy-penned Part 2 featured the wedding ceremony, toasts, cake fight, reception, and after-party!

This entry was chocked full of tubing/ wakeboarding near-wipeouts pics from the second day of our family’s 31st annual Banks Lake camping trip. That night's birthday shenanigans in Coulee City were just icing on the cake.
Camping photos from Day 1 were featured earlier in Banks Lake camping, Take 31.
