White's 2008

We spent most of the winter getting over the flu so we didn't take many pictures so we'll start in the spring.

Brandon kicked off his summer trek on the Pacific Crest Trail April 20, 2008

We celebrated Mother's Day with the Gustafsons (eating of course).

June took us on a trip over the North Cascades and back via Grand Coulee and Dry Falls (below).

July had a White Family reunion. Brandon escaped the wildfires in California to spend a weekend here.

At the end of July we took our annual pilgrimage to Montana to visit Gaye's mom. This picture is from Mt. Helena looking east.

In August we had a young buck stealing birdseed in our back yard.

And a nice sunset.

Also in August we took a trip to Crater Lake and Bend Oregon to visit Brandon on the trail.

On September 25 Brandon and his hiking buddies made it to Canada. We drove to Manning Park in BC to pick him up and return him to his home in Bellingham.

In September we celebrated Mom's birthday and visited the newest Gustafson: Aubrey.

Brandon sans hiking beard.

November brings the rocks back to the beach south of Dungeness Spit.

And Thanksgiving at Lisa, Todd and Elsa's house.

We spent Christmas day by ourselves because the rest of the family had too much snow to travel

We then had Christmas Dinner on Saturday instead.

If you made it this far, we all want to wish you a

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year
