Our friends, the Cormiers, throw an annual themed Halloween party. They go ALL OUT! This year the theme was Disney. We had a fantastic time, as usual!

This year marked Senior Homecoming for Avery. Homecoming is a little different at Mount Si. There is no formal dance, just a casual dance, usually a “pink out”, where everyone wears pink in honor of Breast Cancer awareness following the Friday football game. On Saturday, the kids make plans on their own with dates and/or friends and have a night on the town dressed up. Avery and his girlfriend went to Seattle with a large group. They took pictures, went on the Big Wheel and ate dinner at a fancy restaurant. Then they all headed back to our house for a party! I have to say, Avery has a great group of friends and I’m so glad they wanted to hang out at our place together.

In early October the Boy Scouts got a really cool opportunity to tour a Coast Guard Ice Cutter. They all enjoyed learning about the vessel and the work the Coast Guard does on it.

After much research and a few campus visits, Avery keeps coming back to the same conclusion – he wants to go to Western. And with the Guaranteed Admissions Program, he’s as good as accepted. We thought it prudent to make one more visit before he decided not to apply anywhere else. We toured the campus, combed through the various dorm options, checked out the rec centers and explored town. The weekend sealed the deal!
Our trip happened to fall on the same weekend many upperclassmen were returning to campus, so we got to see Nicole and also visited one of Avery’s cross country buddies, Kyle.
