Fall Catch up!

Okay, so I might be a little bit behind...we came back from the Tetons/Yellowstone trip, and I immediately went back to work. Then, on top of that, Jack has been in swimming lessons and soccer. Soccer continues, but swimming lessons are over for now. I'll get him in another round when soccer finishes.  He's having fun with his soccer team anyway. The first game was yesterday, but we missed it, opting to get in one last camping trip for the year. But, let's back up a little.

Back at the end of August, we made a quick trip to Nevada/California for Tyler and Joree's wedding. It was great to see everyone, but it was a whirlwind trip...very quick and short. The wedding was lovely. It was an intimate little wedding since it took place on a boat on Lake Tahoe. Somehow or other, all 5 of the siblings actually made it to this one.

Jack had a good time even if he had to wear dress clothes.

Even Alice made it.

Here comes the bride

The first time grandpa got to meet Alice.

Our cousin, Drew, officiated the ceremony and did a great job.

 Afterward, we took a very quick trip through Virginia City on our way down the hill. Then, Jack and I headed home and Mike headed to New Jersey for work for a week!

The next weekend, we had another busy one. We attended a Mariner's Game to support a Childhood Cancer Research Charity. Jack had a great time there, although we didn't stay until the end.

 He was glad to have his daddy home.

 He was being quite a ham with the photos...

Then, also last weekend, we went to the Evergreen state fair, and while we were there we went to a Demo Derby.   We started with the usual petting zoo, wandering through exhibits, and the hay bale maze. The llama and the cow worked together to get that food cone out of daddy's hand very quickly!

 Jackson decided on two activities for his turn. The first was a roller coaster...he liked it as we went up the first turn, but as soon as it dropped down the other side of that first hill he was scared and done...at the end, he decided he did not like roller coasters. Then, he tried getting in a big ball in a pool of water and rolling around. He thought that was pretty fun...

 After eating way too much junk food, we set out for the demo derby...it was a lot of fun. Apparently I didn't take any pictures of the actual events, but I did take a few selfies...Jack was excited! His favorite event was one where the demo cars tied boat behind their cars and then proceeded to try to crash into each other's boats and destroy them on a figure 8 track. It was pretty wild!

Then, another week of work and soccer practice in the rain!
