Backyard Soccer

Brad snapped this picture of the kids playing soccer together in the backyard.

 

Wake Surfing

Darby went out on the boat with her friend Rachel.  This time they let her try some wake surfing.  She had so much fun and even dropped the rope.   And yes this was in October with over 75 degree temperatures....although a little smoky.  

 

Women's Soccer

 My friend invited me to a Washington State Youth Soccer banquet honoring 50 years of women's soccer.  After a busy day of soccer for the kids it was fun to get out and hang out with some soccer friends I haven't seen in two years.    We had a fun night.  This is us with Roger Levesque (former Sounders player) 

Little Si

I went hiking again. This time I went with my friend Rene and we hiked Little Si. 

Being among the trees and with friends is good for my soul.  

 

Chimacum Soccer

Ollie had a soccer game in Chimacum.  It's about a 2 hour drive but you also have the option to take a ferry.  We decided to take the Edmonds/Kingston ferry but good fortune was not on our side and we missed the 10:20 ferry even though we were 45 minutes early.   Ugh!  We caught the next ferry but it was a long wait and we barely made it for the start of the game.  Ollie and I went down to the water while we were waiting and took a few pictures.    It was a really beautiful day for a ferry ride.  

I had to sit on the hill behind the soccer goal because I was getting too annoyed by parents etc. 

 

 

 Ten minutes into the game Ollie's team was already down by 2.  I was worried it was going to be a blowout but things turned around and Ollie's team won 5-4 in a very intense and back and forth game.  Thank goodness! 

1st Middle School XC Meet

Colt & Ollie had their first middle school cross country meet this year. 

Colt & Ollie ran in the same race since they put all 7th and 8th grade boys together.  

Ollie beat Colt by 4 seconds....but it was a great race by both of them and I just LOVE watching them run.

 

Adventure Buddy

 I am so thankful for the friends in my life, especially ones who go on adventures with me.  Karen and I decided to go hiking and we were having a tough time trying to pick one so we just settled on an oldie but a goodie, Poo Poo Point.
