Lyla and Nona...September

Nona..back in September

Bucket List Summer 2016

Alexis had a bucket list for the summer:
1. Learn to play the ukulele
2. Do a triathlon
3. Hike to a waterfall
4. (something else, but I can't remember now)
5. Paddle board

It was so great to be able to be part of a couple of these. I was there as she finished her triathlon on Ft. Lewis and it was so emotional and all the soldiers helping out that day were amazed by her finishing it and cheered her on. Then we had a really great day in September and went out on the lake to paddle board. She even fell off out by the park and was able to get back on and stand up. Cannon got it all on camera. I love my strong and faithful friend and I am blessed to be a part of her life.

Seattle Soccer and Alki 2016

 Cannon's soccer team had a game in West Seattle

After Cannon's soccer game we played around in West Seattle and at Alki until we went to Kim's house for a cousins get together. We got some good ice cream and played a little volleyball until the rain came. Nona decided if she couldn't have the ice cream she could at least have a nap.

Zoo Trip 2016

The kids earned their free zoo trip through the library again with their summer reading program. We had a pretty nice day on Labor Day so we headed out for a few hours in the morning. Nona loved all the animals at the beginning and then was happy to be turned around in the pack for a nap during the last half. Phil was even able to join us this year and we had Round Table Pizza for lunch.
