And then it was gone...

This was a tough day. Luckily there wasn’t a lot of time to be anxious.  It was a consult appointment but they offered to remove the mole as well. A few tears (I would have behaved worse!) and then it was gone. Waiting for biopsy results. Brave Girl!!

Last of the summer weather.

Miss Nicky... Westridge and Uplands teacher.

Family size snicker doodle!!  Bigger than Dylan's head!



3rd day...  some work around the house (chainsawing some trees and the stump at low tide).  But first...  twin fish tails for my sister and Dylan.  


Heading down to check out the giant stump.

Finally low tide! 

No pictures of the beautiful ferry ride back to Seattle.  Our hands were full with ferry food... popsicle, popcorn, and chowder. 

Celebrating Mia!

It would have taken years to break this piñata blindfolded!  So...  let's just call this batting practice. 

Water balloon fight!

The kids...  before getting down, dirty, and wet.

Celebrating Ashlyn at Enchanted Forest.

Ashlyn's 8th birthday was back in August...  here is the tardy post.
