Mark is home!

Hooray! It was a long week. Frik is doing much better now. So is his mom.

And to celebrate, we went hiking (of course) to Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge where we saw beautiful views of a marsh and the lower Puget Sound tidal flats. There were birds galore, but no sign of the river otters we really wanted to see. But the flowers were wonderful, including my very favorite from Alaska, fireweed. There were salmonberries too!
