Release the Kraken

The weekend Cameron had his camping with the Scouts happened to be the season opener for the Kraken so Addy and I got to go to the game. It happened to be the same night as the Mariner's marathon playoff game. Since it was the season opener there was a lot of hype for the game and Addy and I got our faces painted. Since neither Addy or I are big hockey fans, I think its safe to say that we had more fun getting free stuff and looking at the merchandise than watching the game itself. My favorite was toward the end of the second period when we were both getting a bit bored and Addy said "Mom, we should have brought our books to read!" Something tells me we might have made it on the jumbotron if we were caught reading at the season opener 😂 

Fall Camping

The rain has finally returned! After months of above average temperatures and ZERO rain, our fall weather has returned and the smoke is gone. One of the silver linings of the warm weather was that the kids camping trips with scouts were NOT in the rain (but they did have some smoke). Addy had 2 weekends away with Girl Scouts and Cameron spent a day with Brian at a camp. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of Addy with her troop but she had a great time and she's basically an expert at Girl Scout camping at this point. Cameron's favorite part? Two weekends with no big sister at home! 

The Room Where it Happened

Addy and I have been excited for months about going to see Hamilton. I think I bought the tickets 9 months ago so when the day finally came we couldn't wait. We made it into a mom and daughter date in Seattle and did lunch and shopping before the show. It was such a fun day and we had the best time. The show was incredible, the performers were amazing and as usual a live musical performance filled my cup with joy! I love that Addy enjoys it as much as I do and I can't wait to take the kids to more shows.
