back to WA

we drove through fire on our way back to WA

it was actually really scary

the fire was jumping across the freeway

you'd think they would have the freeway shut down 

but i guess there were bigger problems elsewhere

as we drove near the fire the entire temperature surrounding the car got hotter

it didn't seem too safe

but! we made it home safely 

after a week or so of being wrapped up 

a hoff decided to see what his ankle looked like

poor little guy

it was still just a little swollen

madre and i found the most accurate mirror 

at the pacific science center

why don't all mirrors make us look so closely 

to how we see ourselves?

this is how everyone else sees us, right?

we've been visiting the science center ever since i can remember

glad we all still enjoy it

we took the ferries up to some island on my of my last days in WA

whatever island we ended up at was the wrong one

madre and i had planned on there being shops and places to eat

but it was only a beach

oops

we had fun at the beach

the boys played baseball with some seashells 

we walked around a little 

but not too much since we had a gimp with us 

padre was cracking me up 

he kept his head phones in the whole time 

and walked around with the newspaper

it was fun hanging out with whats left of the fambam

saying goodbye to these little hoodrats

they always miss me

i can't believe how old they are these days!

pretty soon seth will be the only one left at home
