If they went when you don’t have to trek over snow it wouldn’t be too bad but only if you have a hiking backpack for them. At the toddlers size it wouldn’t feel much different than a night pack with a bladder in there. Also toddler temperament dependent lol. Mine won’t last longer than 3 miles just yet because he wants to crawl but I’d rather him not eat every single bug on the ground.

I never got to apply the correct way (meaning I applied before I gave birth because my little one decided to be premie). However, I had no issues getting the back payments. Overall, I had a neutral experience and it was easy to navigate and fill out the forms and I did make a phone call a few times for questions and everyone was nice to me.

This ain’t a tape recording saying that I did it

It’s so beautiful just watching it speckle, then blend, then leaves the other side behind 😍😍

I’ve been there a few time and even the rural American against racism signs are few and far between.. granted I don’t think every single house needs a sign like that but at least a business should have something like “(insert city) welcomes everyone “ I’ve seen that in Lewis county at a few places

My parents still mask but daddy has Parkinson’s so he is extra careful but usually just sticks to short outing and the occasional out to dinner date with my mom

Parents live in kalama and only like it because they live away from people but in a woodland hippie way and not a maga way

Get a divided feeling being there especially during the Covid situation and masking (lots refused it) made my parents uncomfy

My mom lives out in kalama (acreage) and is in a mixed racial marriage with my dad… they avoid Longview if they can. I’d go with the consensus of Olympia it’s so awesome and they have a year round farmers market and lots of small businesses. I’m not much of a city person but their market and access to hiking is amazing. Or even outside Olympia if you’re not a city person . But the area allows you to also visit the cascades, rainier, st Helen’s, Olympic, and other parks in day trips

I wash my dogs paws (Pittie’s) when they come in. It took a learning curve but they expect it now. I also recommend chenille door mats and I wash it about every other day (gets put into an already existing load). We also wash the couch covers and shampoo the rugs weekly.
