Packwood Report

Amy, Liam and I drove down to Packwood this past weekend to visit with Andy & Lynna and help them prep their house for painting. We also spent a fair bit of time visiting the enormous Packwood Flea Market (which happens every Labor Day), picking black berries, walking in the woods, catching frogs, and just running around outside. It was a nice visit.

Picking black berries! Andy & Lynna's property is covered with black berry bushes and they were all laden with delicious fruit.












The bounty from the harvest.











Liam and Uncle Andy indicating their approval of the flavor.










Aunt Lynna gettign friendly with Liklik.










Liam's first encounter with an actual frog (in this case a northern red-legged frog), captured by his dad and Uncle.










The eponymous legs, visible through the bottom of the mason jar we kept the critter in before we released him back into the creek.










Andy's bridge. He made this himself with some of the trees his neighbor cut down. The bridge crosses the creek that runs through their property and makes it easier to access several forested acres along the river.
