Last Mariners Game of the Season

Reed and I got to see the Mariners defeat the Astros in extra innings for our last Mariners game of the season. We got to see a bunch of games and even though they didn’t make the playoffs again this year, it was still fun to attend and enjoy the ballpark experience (garlic fries, milk shakes, helmet nachos….). Plus we splurged for club seats this time and it was fun to see what that was all about. Reed got out the Rally Shoe for this one and it probably was the winning difference. Being able to ride the Light Rail is a game changer for us being able to go to games like this at the drop of a hat. We also got to celebrate and bid farewell to Rick Rizz - the voice of the Mariners who retired that week. He even caught a foul ball up in his booth!

Girls' Weekend: Forts and Ports

 It was a treat to spend a weekend out on Hood Canal with Rachelle and Rebecca in what we are calling the Forts & Ports weekend. We walked miles and miles each day. On Saturday we visited Fort Townsend, Port Townsend, Fort Worden, and Port Gamble and walked about 10 miles combined while enjoying lovely fall views and delicious food in town. We also got to see a lovely sunset down at the beach at Shorewoods on Saturday. Rebecca made berry pancakes and a yummy scramble for us on Sunday. We walked around the neighborhood and soaked in the sunshine and fresh air. What a treat!

Fall Pep Assembly, Charlotte's SC Swim Season, More Football Goth Babe and Foster the People Show

We have settled into our fall rhythm. Charlotte is a junior on the swim team and a few more girls have joined this year and it’s making for a fun season. Edison continues to excel at football with a game every Friday. In his third game, against Marysville-Getchell, Edison played so well: he had a big sack, recovered two fumbles and even ran one in for a touch down! I never thought I’d see him score! It was rad! Shorecrest celebrated all their fall sports at the Fall Pep Assembly which was a great community builder. Charlotte and I went to the WAMU Theater for a Goth Babe and Foster the People show which was really cool.
