Sea glass searching, rock throwing, and…running with sticks:)

Meryl neeeeeded one last playground moment before we left for the ferry. Holmes eagerly agreed:)

Memory games and trains!

Holmes learned to cross his fingers (for luck!) and used all his wishful energy today to find birthday treats for Lummi:)

Looking fine at nine years old!

Bubble faces and theater performance practice…bravo!

For me! Holmes surprised me to a reading of Are You My Mother? and it made me happy:)

We snuck him in:)

Family, here we come!

Another night, another hallway sleepover.

Gymnastics bound, ready to bound!
