Evan's First 5K

We have a little runner on our hands!  Evan did great in his first 5K (3.1 miles).  He ran an 8:15 first mile (better than many adults), which is outstanding for a 7 year old.  We're working on pacing for the rest.  Great job, Evan!  It won't be long before I'll have a hard time keeping up!

Fun With Friends!

We had a wonderful day with our longtime friends and their moms.  We are so lucky to see Holden and Karen every few weeks, but don't get to see Abby and Kate nearly enough.  Great day!

Beautiful Day in Seattle

We spent a much appreciated middle-of-the-week day off at the Pacific Science Center and topped off the day watching the sunset from the Space Needle.  We hadn't planned on the Space Needle, but couldn't pass up the crystal clear skies and small Veteran's Day discount.  What a view!

Belated Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Evan the Soldier, who wanted to hit EVERY house in our neighborhood this year, and Nathan the hamster dressed up as a Skeleton, who asked every neighbor as they opened their door, "Did I scare you?"  Nathan's other great quote of the night: "I'm so glad I'm wearing my skeleton costume because now I can see inside of me!"  We hope your Halloween was as 'sweet' as ours!

Pumpkin Farm Time!

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin farm today.  We are lucky to have a great place to go just 10 minutes from our house.  We navigated a hay maze, bounced on the largest bounce toy we've ever seen, rode tractors, went on a hay ride, and of course, picked out our pumpkins.  We didn't have time for the corn maze, but Mom might take us back for that later this week.

Camping with the Ack Attack

This was possibly our last camping trip of the season.  We chose one of the most beautiful locations in the state.  Great company, too!

 

We climbed this rock wall several times - even in the pouring rain!

 

The sun came out for a nice hike up Goose Rock.

Look who found us at the top!  Some serious silliness going on here.

 Running away from the camera, but what a view!

Back at the beach.
