Good night from Orcas Island. Still smokey here - but less so than at home. View from our casa. Birds in a row on the dock.

orcas

Here we are on Orcas Island with G&G! Where paper cups read "good vibes only" (shout out to Auntie Ella...), the pool is lovely (as is the hot tub on our deck), the view is great and chairs are comfy, and Grandma and Grandad are stirring up some yummy dinner!

8!

Nate is eight!! Ice cream cake for the win!

birthday skate

All Nate wanted to do today was roller skate ... which turns out to be hard to do on a Monday during the day! But the awesome people at Lynnwood Bowl & Skate let the three of us have the rink to ourselves and skate for free when they found out it was Nate's birthday! Happy birthday Natester!
