One nice November day....

....we went to Camano Island, played on the beach, uncovered some interesting sea life and felt the sun for the first time in ages. Our visit was complete with hot chocolate and coffee from C.I. Coffee Roasters.

Thanksgiving!

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving day with the Harvey/Sumida families! The eclectic spread of food was truly a sight....all of the tradional Thanksgiving favorites, plus homemade ravioli, homemade mac & cheese, Japanese rice, shrimp, leek rings (like onion rings), 4 kinds of pie and homemade almond roca. We have collapsed for the night in a food coma.

Andrew's Book Review

Andrew had to review "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" as part of an assignment, and use certain vocabulary words that will be obvious:

Jeff Kinney is the author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I read

all of the books in the series because they are a

HILARIOUS PHENOMENON! I think kids like

them because they are hilarious. Dog Days is the

sequel to the debut and prevails over all other books!

Etc....

Soccer party - Lightning

We're done with soccer, just in time for cold/rain/wind to really hit our area this week. Sam's team was undefeated, even though we're not supposed to keep score. :)
