Here's some pics from early summer on the boat.

There's a pair of bald eagles that like to hang out in buttonhook bay.

And a family of geese.

hoopfest

Matt and some buddies opted to play hoopfest again this year. They had fun. He s=decided that BB wasn't his sport.

Skyfest

Every couple of years, the air force base just outside of town hosts Skyfest. You can visit on base, tour planes and then the day ends with the Thunderbirds airshow.

Matt and Kyra with a couple of good friends. Margee knew their mom down at WSU.

Air show - these two planes flew together, wtih #5 upside down. It looks like they are just inches from each other.

Here's a series of photos where the planes are flying fast. The single plane on the right seems to be flying faster. They cross over each other.

Planes landed. Kids got autographs from some of the pilots.

Summer soccer game

On the first day of summer Matt had his first soccer scrimmage with his new team. He had a blast. He was keeper, fullback and then center during the game.

I only got good photos when he was keeper. Here's a series of photos of him making a nice block on goal. Matt has neon green penny on. The boy in blue is trying to score The boy in white is a fullback on Matt's team.!

Kyra Hockey

Kyra decided to learn to play hockey, so she could join a team this fall. She's having a blast!

Kyra skating towards a puck somewhere to the right of the photo.

Kyra is front left pink helmet (there are two girls, each with pink helmets/)

Kyra's got the puck!

moms day

We made our annual voyage to Manito Park for a picnic and fun.

Kyra loves swings/

King of the hill (or play structure.)

Attempting a photo op with kids, but didn't turn out so well. Kyra sticking out her tongue and Matt being wiggly.

Boys Epic Bike Ride

On the last day of school, Margee took Matt and  five of his school buddies on an epic bike ride. To Riverfront Park for picnic lunch and a game of capture the flag. Then on to Mission Park to play at the playground and water feature. Then back towards home to stop at our favorite neighborhood ice cream parlor, Doyles.

Matt is center, to the left of the boy in red shorts.

On an old rail road bridge, converted into a bike path. Matt is center back, with blue/black stripped shirt.
