First game for the Red Ninjas. Alton was nervous before the game, but ultimately had a great time. Coach Mike and Coach Joe spent a lot of energy wrangling everyone in the correct direction.

Shaynee and the kids took another trip to Jetty Island, this time with our friends Susan & Monse. Apparently, the tide was really really low and the shelf stretched quite far out, the furthest that we have ever seen. Thus, the kids were up to their knees in sea mud and kelp. Mmm. Sea mud.

We took the train from the Northwest Railway Museum from the town of Snoqualmie to North Bend, then up to Snoqualmie Falls. The cars are vintage and restored – the most modern car that we rode was almost 100 years old (and quite lovely art deco style throughout). The kids loved watching the scenery pass …

This majestic mallard has decided that our house is the perfect spot to survey his domain.
Lookout!
