Each year we hang a few decorations to celebrate the season. This week Judy got busy after work and got The Burrow PNW in the mood.

Our front door stoop greets you with a few haunts. We will carve the pumpkins soon.

Here is the close up. Watch Out!

Today Étienne ran his third cross country meet:

CASCADE STRIDERS 2014
Flying Feet Cross Country Invitational

Each meet he is more determined and setting personal records. Todays meet was through the beautiful grounds of Wilburton Hill Park, Bellevue, WA. This setting reminds us all that the Seattle metropolitan area is labeled The Emerald City. The lush green grassy fields framed deep woods and manicured sports fields. A true delight for all the runners and spectators.

Étienne cheers on the 6 and under race before his.

The start and climb located at about 1k into the race. The runners make a loop and climb this hill twice.

These three are to be read right to left. Étienne approaches the final turn, runs the home stretch, and crosses the finish line.

Étienne place in the final points position, we are all very proud of his achievement.

We have a three day weekend and Carl got an invite to sail with our good friends the Weinerts. Dylan is a classmate from last year but attends a different middle school this year. During this three day cruise, the father sent me a few posts:

The adventure began with a proper barefoot cruise. A romp through the forest soon followed.

The left picture is my clear favorite. That must be the sailboat in the background. That picture says to me, "Fun with My Friend". Thank you Weinert family, I cant believe Dylan's mom took on a three day cruise with five boys.
