Beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here.

Super speedy and busy work trip to DC last week.  Did manage to sneak out of the conference for one session and visit a fave place that I miss. With some new additions since I was last there. 

sleepy campers

Belated post of the return of the 6th grade from Camp Orkila and Abby and Nate together in the back seat again!  😍😍😍

Guess who is getting packed up to go to Camp Orkila with her 6th grade class?!

friends for-evah

More August blog catch up ... we had so much fun with Meg, Ingrid & Claire!  Former neighbors and forever friends, we picked up right where we left off a year ago.  Looking forward to next summer already!  

  We hung out at the civic club....

Dinner back at home.

Super sleepover and when we woke up it was Nate's birthday, so Top Pot donuts were had by all!

Gaming.

And we ended up with a slogan that has some real staying power.  (Still up on the board several weeks later and shows no sign of going anywhere.)

owl art

By Nate. 🦉👌🙂

Good morning, Mt Rainier.

team dinner

Camping team celebrates dinner and fire and many laughs and a couple of skinned knees.

river swimming

There was a swimming hole at the campground. Abby & Nate bravely jumped off a rock into the very chilly water ... all of the kids got super busy with sand/water engineering projects and building "hot tubs".
