11th Birthday Extravaganza!




It's all about the camo!

The motley crew that came to party with Colin.

Tween boys! Gotta love 'em!

I still wonder if the neighbors felt safe and protected with the 229th Street gang around, or if they locked their doors and feared for their lives.

Nerf war at night in the rain...

Let them eat cake...

Colin's actual birthday was on Mother's Day this year. So we thought it fitting to go to a Mariners game where they were saluting all moms.


It was a fabulously sunny and warm day for a ballgame, probably the only one of this miserably grey and wet spring.

We saluted Colin with a much appreciated scoreboard message.

Later that night we had some family over for cake. Yes, it's a baseball cake!

Sailin' The Lady Washington


Matt & Colin set sail aboard The Lady Washington on the last day of spring break. This is the ship that doubles as the Black Pearl in the movie, The Pirates of the Carribean. It was about a 3 hour tour, but thankfully they were no where near Gilligan's Island. They just cruised around Grays Harbor a bit. The crew were dressed in period costumes and showed the passengers how to help hoist the sails. They also fired the cannons a couple of times. At what I'm not sure. A wayward seal, an angry seagull, an out of control fishing boat, or was it Caption Jack Sparrow?
