Rafting with the Rutledges, Swimming Finals and Seattle Storm Game

The Wenatchee is still flowing and we got a visit from Heidi, Max, and Maggie and an awesome day on the lower river with all the kids. It was a little bumpy (2300 cfs) but do-able and kid friendly.
 Charlotte got to swim in a couple relays at the girls northern swimming finals. She did great and moved on to the All Cities meet with her relay team - eventually placing 4th in greater Seattle area! And to think she'd never been on a swim team at the start of May. Here they are doing a pre-meet cheer with coach Matt.
 The 100 free relay team extraordinaire: Ivy, Claire, Delaney and Charlotte.
 Edison swam in two relays and two individual events at the boys norther finals meet. He placed 8th in the fly and moved on to All Cities in the 25 fly and did a great job!
 Meg and Chris came over to plan our Canada trip. Reed was very excited to see Jack. The two of them were super cute putting all the stuffed animals to bed.
 As part of the King County Library System summer reading challenge, kids can earn Seattle Storm tickets for the minutes they read. I've got three great readers, so we got the tickets and went to the game on Friday night at Key Arena and were joined by Michael, Jenabel and Jasper. The kids got a bag of popcorn with free refills and went back and forth about 20 times for refills. Score! Plus the Storm had a strong game and made over 109 points to beat Dallas!
