We had a great, restful Thanksgiving weekend up in Orcas! This was our 3rd year up at the house for the holiday so does that mean it's a tradition now? The one new thing we did this year was we went to watch the "Olga Symphony, more or less". That was literally the name of the show! We weren't sure what to expect and ended up having a ton of fun - while the orchestra was small (total of 8 players, including 4 that were guests!), they were super talented and played fun, folksy songs instead of classic pieces. There was some yodeling, lots of clapping and singing, a Christmas mashup of "O little town of Bethlehem" and "YMCA", and even some saw playing. Yes, you read that right - she played the SAW and it was so neat to hear and watch. We liked the show so much we may have to add this to our agenda next year!
Here's links to previous years up in Orcas:

| Best part of Thanksgiving is the homemade apple pie! |
 |
| The girls did hand made seat cards. I can't quite tell who is supposed to sit here though... |
 |
| As with previous years, we load up on crafts that keeps the girls busy inside when it's rainy outside. |

| This year, we went to see the Olga Symphony. It was so much fun! |
