Go Storm! We love going to Storm basketball games!

It is possible to root for the Storm and Caitlin Clark…twice! What fun to see her play a few weeks apart and catch her play into her stride with the Indiana Fever. And cheer on both Storm wins!

We get to bike to Storm games as Climate Pledge Arena is close to our house! Zipping in and out through traffic is so satisfying.

And now we’re hitting our own fandom stride:) This time, seeing the Storm win against the Atlanta Dream.

Meryl has fallen for Storm player, Jewell Loyd. And lucky us, we get to cheer for her in the Paris Olympics this summer too!

Cooling off on a hot day after the game at the International Fountain a mere steps from the stadium!

Can’t stop, won’t stop!

And these two embody all that is fine and refined, and ready for the Spring Arts Showcase! This was back in June toward the end of the school year, when we had a second grader and a pre-K student. Meryl needed to wear open toed shoes because we had all gone out for manicures and pedicures the day prior:)

The gym turned into a fine art gallery for a couple of days with all of the kids’ art for the year on display. I am amazed every year at what they create and what they’ve learned, from different mediums to different artist references. It’s so cool!

While we’re going into the way back machine, this here concluded our passport and NEXUS card family renewal process. (Hello, Vancouver and beyond!) We had lots of conversations about not smiling…the antithesis of what we do in photos otherwise!

The top of the Space Needle that is! For a single day towards the end of the school year, the power went out in our school’s neighborhood; thus, closing school. So we became tourists in Seattle for a moment!
