Seattle, in pictures and videos

We had a great week with Poppy and Nana. And we have the pictures and videos to prove it.

First, take a photo tour of the greater Seattle area. Highlights include the Space Needle, the Fremont Troll, and a ferry boat ride.

Where did we take the ferry to, you ask? Well, I'll tell you. We took the ferry to the Olympic Peninsula. Specifically, the Olympic Game Farm, a game farm in scenic Sequim filled with wheat bread-loving game.

And finally, we leave you with a garden train tour, courtesy of Poppy's friend, the Australian John Morrison. Impressive, to say the least.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

I don't know if it's the Reds' current five-game winning streak or perhaps our trip earlier in the month to see the Fisher Cats in action, but Henry has been working diligently on Take Me Out to the Ball Game this week. This morning, he got all the words down.

And as a bonus, don't miss Fiona's contribution after the song, which had to be inspired in part by the Target Lady.

4 Rowell St.

Ain't she a beaut?

Fiona: featured reader

Fiona was one of four students selected to read at this month's Community Meeting at Walker School. She wrote a story about Claude Monet and read beautifully in front of the whole school.
