We started our day in Tacoma at the Museum of Glass. It was a gorgeous sunny day and I am pretty sure that made the glass both inside and outside the museum look even better.
They happened to be having a workshop today where you could make a fused glass project. It was so great. I loved watching the boys go through the process of designing and executing their projects. Colm had just gotten done telling me how much he doesn’t like art, but he sure was concentrating and awfully proud of his work when he was done. 
Their projects went in the kiln today and will be mailed to us when they are ready.
This is the sketch Colm did of his idea before he made it into glass.
The boys didn’t use this which I was a little disappointed with since I would have exclusively used it had I designed a project. It’s glass glitter!

In the kiln and ready to go! I love how Colm made a sunset and Liam’s is abstract. They are both great and we can’t wait to see them when they’re done.
Then when we were done touring the museum we got in the car and headed to Olympia to the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. We had gone to another wildlife refuge that is closer to our house last year for Father’s Day. I think the one we went to today might have been a little bit bigger (i.e. more walking).
It was a beautiful day and this place was busy! There were a LOT of very serious birdwatchers.
Can you see Mt. Rainier peeking out above the trees?
