End of May

The end of May was full of fun for us. Sydney had her final performance with her church drama club. She absolutely loved all the practices and performances. Hopefully she can do it again next year.





For Memorial Day weekend, we went on our annual South Sound cruise to Penrose Point state park. We got our boat up there on Thursday evening and then Shari caught a ride back to Olympia to sail up Andiamo III to Penrose. Our great friend Tami (from Andiamo) was soloing it for this cruise due to Gene being in Afghanistan and she wanted some company for the trip. We had a great time, despite the weather.


We ended up with a large raft of boats! It worked out pretty good with all the kids. I think we counted 9 kids combined from all the boats rafted. They enjoyed the freedom to hop from one boat to the other.

We were so happy to be joined by our good friends from s/v Ghost. We hadn't seen them in what felt like a couple of years. It was wonderful to spend some time with them.




The kids enjoyed checking things out at low tide. They were especially loving all the hermit crabs.
