20150605 164056 20150605 164527  Thank you, kids! They got "paid" with Izze sodas and Doritos. All orange! 20150605 164531 20150605 165141  Some orange mouths!

20150606 160509 20150607 181632  Out clearing trails and I found an opossum carcass! Stil some hair on it! Super cool, right??? ICK! 20150607 181700  But then my friend Doug Olson (science teacher - a legendary one I should say) came by for eggs and wanted to see the carcass. He got to take home the mandibles! 20150608 081930  Interesting fog layer over Seattle - out on a run.
20150608 082301  Nice view from my running route. 20150608 102443  Out with my friend Christina who knows so much about bugs and plants. Always interesting share a walk with her! 20150608 102527  This is a spit bug who uses water from the plant to create a little protective cocoon for metamorphosis. 20150608 103822

I found some Norwegian snacks I meant to share with my neighbor, Ingunn, and broke them out to see how you go about eating them. It was delicious! Tomato sardines, cheese and dark bread. Even more awesome was catching up with shipmate Chip and his family after probably about 10 years! We knew them in CT. 20150608 124838 20150608 144131  Ingunn came over with Esther and Marte!
20150608 144142  It was so fun to hear them speaking in Norwegian. 20150609 145133  A little cleanup after the gutters were blown out... 20150609 145939 20150609 173901

20150612 074644  Last day of school! 20150612 074720 20150612 112519  Trying to do selfies with Emmy. 20150612 112522
20150612 112611  Er... 20150612 112628 20150612 112940  On the way out, heading back to Emmy's home up the street. 20150612 112953

And we promptly have a crazy time catching a ball that blew off a boat, try to return it to the truck in front of us, and lose dad's phone in the process. We drove all over the island chasing hockey gloves (also on the loose - turns out coach Tim had them) and Dad's phone. We got the phone back, big answer to prayer! Found it on the side of the road where we grabbed the ball. 20150613 170159  Dave blowing up the ball...
20150613 184147  Dave playing in adult league. Ben is sorting sticks to create random teams. 20150613 184720  Dad watching Dave's game - two roller hockey games in one day for Dad! He's a trooper! 20150613 195633  Ben doing timekeeper - he's quite loud! 20150613 092921

20150614 150428  At the game store - thank you, Dad! 20150614 150635  Sam was psyched about these new cards. 20150614 153505  At Fort Worden... 20150614 154029  Dad really liked the Coast Artillery Museum. It's quite good.
20150614 154536  Here are a few displays we checked out... 20150614 154558  Triangulating on a ship. 20150614 154920  Interesting! 20150614 155006  This is quite ODD.

20150614 165413  A three generation photo! 20150614 165802  Amazing construction as part of the triangle of fire to guard entrance to the Puget Sound and shipyard. 20150614 170732  I went through a spooky tunnel. 20150614 171159
20150614 172302 2015.06.06 vs Bruins (39)  Sam playing in the D2 game. This might be out of order, but no time to change it now! 2015.06.06 vs Bruins (36) 20150616 191922  I'm growing pumpkins this year. This is a giant pumpkin called Wyatt's Wonder!
20150616 204700  Dad making a concoction! I hid some sauerkraut in his ice cream the night before and he DIDN'T notice it!!!! 20150616 205029  Ick ;) 20150620 110632  Another roller hockey game! 20150620 111406  Coach Brett standing in for Tim Harris.

20150622 163809 20150623 102845  Interesting scat! Coyote!? 20150624 115533  Trying to get a picture of Emmy again. We just got back from trail riding AND being brave checking out a different arena where I'm going to show on July 12. 20150624 115601
20150625 103431  Wiped out on a trail run while Sam was biking! 20150625 103446  EEEEK! I have done this two years in a row now. So odd. Get in a fight with the bike rack, nearly run out of gas on the way to skate camp, then wipe out on a trail run. This year I remembered the trifecta of doom, thought I was in the clear, but then 100 yards from the truck I let down my guard and BAM! 20150625 103511  Crazy mom! 20150625 104806  Sam doing some hard hill work.
20150625 163430  Then we went to see a talk about Rickover. Very interesting to see this poster in the Exchange afterwards! 20150625 172949  "Ooohh! I Loooove these little bagels!" 20150626 105126 20150626 125434  I stepped into a store very briefly to look at a new purse. Found one. It was all quiet outside. It'd been 5 minutes. I wondered what was up. Here's what I found. Ben bouldering on the truck in his socks, and a lady across the lot frowning. Oy.
20150626 173024  Calisthenics time! We do odd workouts once a week. Sam went into the garage to find something to bench press and came out with a ladder. 20150626 173034  I did the safety check, and he went to town. It's not too heavy, but looks impressive! 20150626 173600 20150626 173603  They liked how Ben's head looked in this shot.
20150626 174228  It's a great way to bond with them, avoid boys fighting during daily "happy hour" when folks are not so happy, and they like muscles! 20150626 174302 20150626 174419  The Ben Carry is one of the drills we do. 20150626 174517  Chickens also interested in fitness. NOT!
20150626 175111 20150626 175137 20150627 095628  Hockey this morning! 20150627 100047  Nice healthy snack, there, Farmer Alice! :)
20150627 131035  Fundraising again for Roller Hockey! We hit up the folks walking back from the Rotary Auction, selling cold drinks and watermelon. 20150627 131054  We had to WORK it I tell you. Imagine folks with hands full trundling to cars. Hot, yes. Thirsty, yes. Willing to dig for a buck? Not so much! 20150627 131201  But, a few nice folks indulged us! 20150627 131633  AAAAW! Niiice and COOOOLD Ben says!
20150627 131801  "Come get it! Watermelons! The best around! Only four slices left!" 20150627 131955 20150627 132026  He did all these crazy eating moves. 20150627 132100  And got a few folks to come by!
20150627 132109  THANK YOU! 20150627 133814 20150627 133825 20150627 133852  $90 raised between three families (Petersons and Rennas also baked and helped sell this morning at the rink).
