We continued our Cougar Mountain Zoo tradition of visiting Santa at the Reindeer Festival. This year was covid modified, so no masks, and but Santa is socially distanced behind the kids in the picture. Things are getting better!

The cougars were very active today. They even meowed a little!

We met Nana and Frank in Maui at the end of November/beginning of December this year. We took a lot of pics – here they all are!

These two went parasailing for the first time

Hula pie at Leilani’s! 

Jonathan and I went on a sunset sail. It was really fun!

Lots of football on the beach

Here’s what we were up to in November:   
Jonathan and I got dressed up and went to the Wine Gala at The Club, always a fun excuse for a night out.

Visit from Grammy

Nana and Auntie Ashleigh came for a visit and to celebrate Nana’s 70th birthday. We went out to dinner at The Club. Happy Birthday, Nana!

While we were at dinner we got a text from a friend that their neighbor, Gabe, a firefighter, had a few dozen kids Covid vaccines ready to dole out, did we want to come get some? Naturally, we rushed there! The mood was so happy and grateful – one more step toward normal life!

Chatting up Auntie Ashleigh

We watched our neighbor’s Frenchie, Lucy, for a couple days. The pooches had fun wearing each other out.

I went to Grammy and Papa’s for a couple days to hang out and decorate for Christmas

Decorating at home

We went to Grammy and Papa’s for Thanksgiving this year. It was nice to spend the holiday with family again. We couldn’t get over how much all the cousins have grown!

Avery had a great first season on the Mount Si XC team. He was so excited to end up running Varsity as a Freshman. We were impressed with what a good group of hardworking kids are on the team and how much they pushed each other to do their very best.

This is their home course. It’s a beautiful spot to run! That’s Coach Crane in front yelling at them, “the race is up there!”
