Washoes, Jenga and Poker

The kids are getting so good at playing all the games.  We played a lot of washoes, some jenga and finished our nights with Poker.  

Helicopter Pad

We headed down to Oregon for Labor Day weekend and the Smith family reunion.   It was just us and the Doug Smith family....again.   

We took MARV and drove a few hours on Thursday night before we camped in Yakima. We drove the rest of the way on Friday.  

We went up to the helicopter pad with Quinn & Jensen.   It's one of our traditions.

Rivalry

Brody had his first cross country meet.   It was a 2 mile jamboree at Lake Sammamish State Park.  Brad's team was also there competing.   

After many years of watching Brad's athletes compete it is quite surreal to have one of our own kids as a high school runner.  I proudly wore my purple and yellow to support Issaquah.   I am usually wearing Interlake colors. 

Sounders game

Brad took Colt, Ollie & Bo to the Sounders game a few weeks ago.  Unfortunately they didn't pull off a victory but the kids had fun.

1st day

There was a mix of emotions as the kids started their first day of in person school in over a year and a half.   It's hard to believe it has been that long. 

I also can't believe I have a kid in high school! 

And yes I have days to myself now and I'm still trying to find a good balance to my days. 

Another round

On Saturday, Brian, Abi, Andrew, Fafa & Grammy joined us for the birthday celebration. 

We had a beautiful day and spent a good amount of time down at the river.  The kids also played some Texas Hold'em and we sang Happy birthday to Colt.....again. 

Camping birthday

We had Colt's camping birthday party last weekend.  We went to Tinkham again.  We ended up with a smaller site which was a bit of a bummer but we still had good river access. 

Jason, Zephyr, Papa Bob & Grandma Shari came up on Friday to celebrate Colt. 

Jason had to help Darby get the fishing pole unstuck.
