Guess where we went?
Gasp! Where?
Gorgeous, crisp Mount Rainier!
Behind the scenes on the previous photo — who sees Landry trying to squeeze his way in?!

Through the seaweed donut
The setting! Stunning!
Bigger than ever on Twin Firs trail!
Bye bye via the family selfie
Smiling soccer guy
Star soccer sister
Suited up for sailing (yay) but lukewarm about the photo op
Rainiest soccer practice yet!
We visited the colorful Washington State Fair on Saturday morning!
Hazey and Supey rode this old fashioned wooden coaster. They are right there in the front seats, just visible on maximum zoom
Fairly frightened (hee, get it?) = cuddly!
Homestate dabber extraordinaire

Hazel has been building beautiful domino creations lately
Boom!
Waiting at the new tram station
Bison bison
The trams have glass roofs!
We did it! First week of 4th and 7th grades!
Last first day at this school, hard to believe
Eye to eye here
The weather turned just in time for school to start. Thank you mother nature; we don’t feel like we’re missing a thing
Home after school. All went well!
Hazel raced in a sailing regatta on Bainbridge Island this Saturday and Sunday!
There’s a lot of waiting when you’re part of the Green Fleet (new racers)
But also a lot of boat time
Green Fleet completed 12 races over 2 days on a triangular course. Here’s a shot of Hazel crossing the finish line first (far right, sail number 22772)!!
De-rigging is a whole thing
But there’s still time for lots of sillies (here making faces with her friend Elly in the background)
One of the Green Fleet coaches saved us from a selfie and took this real one
And sailors are even FED on Saturday after the races!
Second day — getting rigged and bladed
Brief huddle with the coach
Then…time!
To!
Sail!
Later, let’s not forget the sitting-in-boats-and-chatting phase (so fun!)
Pretty great experience overall
Slugs are too hot to touch at NW Trek?
Ohhh! These slugs
