Orcas weekend

By

The Orcas house had an open weekend last week so we snagged it to go check in on the house before the end of the year. The recent storms apparently did a ton of damage to our cliff side - the stairs going down are demolished and a couple of scraggly bushes fell over the side! Yikes! 

It was pretty gloomy all weekend so we didn't do too much. Still, it was a nice little getaway and even though we've been a zillion times now, we still discover new things all the time like the gingerbread house contest that they had at the local market. We were super impressed with the entries! 

We made paper wreaths as crafts all weekend long.

This was our fav gingerbread "house". It's a ski chalet and ski lift!

Angry stormy water when we were on the ferry coming home.

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
