Another busy week with a lot going on. We start off while still on vacation in Winthrop. Only our van’s battery died because we accidentally left the cooler plugged in. Whoops. We waited and waited and waited for AAA to come give us a jump start.
And waited and waited. We had planned to go on a 6 mile hike but our morning was shot so we wound up going on a smaller hike along the river outside of town instead. It was rather informative, educational and fun (if easy to walk).
Then we went to the smkoejumper base. This was essentially the last thing we did while on vacation and it was fantastic. Highly recommended.
No, we didn’t get to actually go up in the plane, but that is the very plane the smokejumpers do go up in.
Saturday we got home and frantically unpacked, packed for Boy Scout camp, then we took Déla to her surprise birthday concert.
Sunday I headed out with August to Boy Scamp camp where he would spend a week in the woods learning a lot of skills and working towards advancement. And having a lot of fun. Here he is working on learning the flag ceremony.
Here he iss jumping off a pier about 15 feet down into the Hood Canal.
I had to come home for a couple of day while Laura set up her classroom. One day I turned around and Tevye was sitting quietly “reading” a book.
