Shoofly farm camp

It's the last day of camp at Shoo Fly farm. And the first day it isn't supposed to rain all day long!  No one seems to mind the mud pit and swamp... Just put on some boots and it's all fun!!!

Bed sweet bed

I don't understand why anyone would think that a flushable hole in the ground is a good idea. It was all I could do not to pee on my jeans. I can't understand if you stand toward the wall or the door. Western toilets, you are worth your weight in porcelain. And I'm glad for dry jeans. Until you realize no paper and drip dry is the option. At least it was 1. 

The hotel, called Shan Gorilla but spelled Shangri-La, was nice and comfortable with a king size bed and toilet. 

I'm full from the breakfast Buffet and three cups of coffee. I loved the fruit most of all. Weird white fruit with black seeds especially. The outside looks like a combo of a bird of paradise and a mango. The yellow melon and pineapple was great too. Pool and workout facility was nice but didn't spend long there as to be expected. :) 

No Talent Talent Show

The "Wengstrom Family Singers" gave a second live performance at the No Talent Talent Show at the church retreat on Saturday night.  We donned our blazers, grabbed a musical instrument, and honorary family member, Linda Srb to give our rendition of "Home" by Philip Phillips.  There is a video available and distribution is 'on demand'.  :)

Nana is here!

Nana made the long trek to Seattle today. Nothing was better than getting to meet, hold, and feed we newest granddaughter Molly. Only 8 days old!

So Molly waved goodbye, and Nana started her adventure west, first leaving 2 hours late from Memphis, and then missing her connection in Minneapolis. She ended up arriving Seattle at 11:30pm PST, four hours later than expected. But still in good spirits, especially when she was greeted by Josh with a big hug at the airport. And then another hug by Luke when we got home at 12:30!

First concert

Soccer party

All good things must come to an end and our last soccer game and party was on Oct 27. I won't miss the practices and games in the pouring rain, but I will miss the kids excited faces. And coaching with Mike. Great season, Avengers!

Happy Halloween

Yet another fun Halloween.. It was supposed to rain again, but ended up a dry, starry night. The Dedrick family who recently moved from Michigan came over to wander around our neighborhood. We showed Ellen and Tim all the houses that gave out adult beverages. The boys Clay and Kyle had so much fun until they had so much candy it made their wrist hurt.

Wet practice

Soccer practice in the rain tonight. Only 63 so not bad. Except its also 8:15pm. It was cool to play on the City field behind Eastlake HS.
