Visit to the Ranger Station!

Nate has been really busy the past few days at work and he's even been working a little over-time at night to catch up on his never ending demands at the office. The kids have sure missed their daddy so I thought if we can't see our daddy at home than we'll go see our daddy at work!! I also figured it was about time that Nate's coworkers meet baby Caleb! So we drove down to the Hebo Ranger Station with a plate of cookies and some art work the kids colored for their dad and surprised Nate with a little visit! I don't know what the employees liked more the gingersnaps or seeing a cute baby! Ty and Mara love daddy's office: spinning in the chairs, playing with smokey bear, going through his drawers and finding gum and treats! Nate was just finishing work for the day but had a couple more tasks to complete before he left so he let Ty stay at work with him until he finished. Ty loved that! He thought that was great to be with his daddy at work. He sat at the desk and colored a Smokey Bear paper while daddy made phone calls and finished his job!


On the drive home I noticed a herd of elk in a field close to the highway. Nate's always telling me about these elk, he sees them a lot on his way to and from work but I've never seen them up close before. I pulled over to take a look and after hearing about the famous albino elk I was finally able to see it! If you look closely in the photo you'll notice that one of the elk is not like the others, that's an albino elk! Interesting huh?

I always wanted to see the Albino Elk. Glad you could take a picture.
I am sure everyone at work was happy to see all of you.

Gingersnaps are a favorite treat, but, Caleb stole everyone's
heart. He is so cuddly and darling.

Ty would have a great time at his Daddy's office. That would have been special for him. Good Idea Mom.

Playing at the park was a great idea. I wish Tillamook would put some money into building a great park. Bay City certainly had the vision for a community play area.

Love, Mom

Way to go on visiting Nate at work! I remember when I went to work with my dad... I thought it was the coolest, so I bet Ty was in heaven! And those Elk... wow!!!
