September

Here’s what we were up to in September. We bought a new car!

With Landry and Reid

Silas started playing the sax in the school band

Caroline and I took the girls to see the new Little Mermaid movie at The Club pool. They had technical difficulties getting it to play, so we went home and watched it on Disney+.

Layla loved her first season of cheer

Another day, another game

In September we finally got our little fast boat out on Lake Sammamish to pull the kids in the tube.

Silas enjoyed his first season of cross country

Here they are at a meet on the MSHS home field

Love this pic of these two!

Field Day at Layla’s school was rained out so they held it indoors

Pooja & James’ Wedding

Over Labor Day weekend, Grammy and I had a girl’s trip to Whistler for a friend’s wedding. Pooja was our neighbor when we lived in Issaquah, and was the flower girl at our wedding. Her parents are good friends of Grammy and Papa’s. We had a fantastic time celebrating with the happy couple, who had a Hindi ceremony the first day and a Western one the second day, followed by a brunch sendoff on Labor Day. Congrats, Pooja & James!

A couple days before the wedding we attended a Mehndi party at Seeta & Phani’s house, where we got henna for the wedding.

August

Here’s what we were up to in August. Layla and I got mani/pedis together.

We also went to visit Grammy and Papa and help with the move.

One of their cats, being adorable

My friend, Niki, and I went to see Yellowcard play in Seattle. The violinist, Sean, was our neighbor back when we lived on Leitz. It was fun to see him play live. Forgot to get a pic of Niki & me.

Silas went to a glow birthday party for his friend, Ellie

I love that these two like to have sleepovers sometimes

Boy Scout Camp

This was the first and only year all three boys (technincally four, Jonathan went too)  will go to Boy Scout Camp together. This year it was at Melita Island, in Montana. It looks like they had a blast!

Friday Harbor & Roche Harbor

Over our anniversary, we ventured up to San Juan Island to visit Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor. It’s the furthest north we got this summer and it didn’t disappoint. We had an incredible time! I wish we’d been able to stay at Roche another night. On the way home we stopped at Fort Flagler. Here are a few arial shots we took with the drone.





We stayed at Fort Flagler again on our way home.


Walking around Friday Harbor

We saw Barbenheimer! Jonathan and I took Silas & Layla to Barbie, while Avery and Kieron went to Oppenheimer.

 

20 Years!

Look how fast we’re cruising!

Watching the Colors Ceremony. I love that they do this. Reminds me of coming here as a teenager.

The mausoleum at Roche Harbor

Back at Fort Flagler
 

Layla and I watched the bioluminescence in the water

Headed home – where did all the smoke come from?!

More lock traffic. Our 2nd time through the big locks.

We were hungry, which meant a stop at Dick’s on the way home.
