Garden Cantaloupe

We got 2 cantaloupes from the garden this year ... looked awesome. The taste did not live up to the appearance, but Julia and Doug still ate them.

 

Cantaloupe #2 - a bit smaller

Daily Life - the little things

Nothing better than a trip to Olive Garden after a day of soccer and stick-and-shoot ... 

After a tough soccer game, a trip to Olive Garden brought back the smile

Julia and the organized stuffed animals

A bit about each:

• Sampson (Rabbit): key player, hands out treats, a bit of trouble
• Sprinkles (Uni #17): tap-tap-tap for wake up call
• Donut (Brown Dog): gets the most attention
• Pebbles (Penguin): also learned tap-tap-tap, can flap and fly
• Scout (Koala): eats leaf (often lost) in pouch, girl 'scout' cookie on foot
• Mousie (Mouse): not scared of Sandy (snake)
• Poley (Polar Bear): Mom's old stuffy who likes the cold

Cross Country Meet 1

RJ and Julia competed in the first 'practice' meet at Lee District Park.

• Julia's first track meet. She ran 2 km with the 3rd and 4th graders.
• RJ moved up to the 5th - 6th grade distance of 3 km

Some photos and videos.

Julia climbs a hill about 3/4 through the race

RJ heads to the home stretch in 2nd place (then hits a wall)

Julia heads into the last 300 yards

RJ running the same section - with another 1 km to go.

Will post the times when we get them!

Pup in Seattle

RJ's dog decided to hit the road with Doug on his business trip to Seattle.

Pup wanted Starbucks at the airport, but he got water

 

We got to work in the Seattle office

 

Score ... treats in the break room

 

Pet friendly hotel with lots of dogs, but pup didn't like the moldy shower
