Journey of the Noble Gnarble

Presley was asked to be a teen helper for a summer production and so I signed up Harper to be part of the cast. 

The Stage Kids put on a week long production of 

Journey of the Noble Gnarble

(I didn't know this story at all, but its the story of the Gnarble fish trying to make her way to the top of the ocean to see the sun)

Harper was cast as the Noble Gnarble 

Presley was a great help at the end of the day, helping her to learn her lines, songs, and dance routines. 

She also did her make up on the show days. 

She had several solo singing parts.

Amy, Thomas, Mylee and Alyson took Grandma on a special week-end trip to Vancouver to see Paul McCartney.  They stopped in North Bend to visit a kangaroo farm before making their way to Canada. 

Dave and Logan were scheduled to be in Seattle for the Seattle University soccer camp that same week-end.  

Dave, Logan and Rylan went to the camp together and then went to see two soccer games on Saturday in the Century Link Field.

Presley, Harper, and I ended up with tickets on Sunday to see Wicked with the Lindholms and Grandma as they were on their way back from the concert. 

We all met at The Cheesecake Factory in downtown Seattle (Logan was still at the last day of camp).

Dave and Ry went back to watch the last couple of hours of Logan at camp. 

And the rest of us went to the Paramount Theatre to watch Wicked. 

Dave and Logan were headed off to Portland and Corvallis to two more camps, so all of us stopped at the Seattle U campus to pick up Rylan and say a quick hi/bye to Logan and Dave.

We made it home in time for Presley and Harper to play Elphaba and Glinda in the pool.

The 4th of July

We had a pretty relaxing 4th of July. 

It wasn't very nice out so it just a family day. 

We ended up all going to see Toy Story 4.

We played Clue outside. 

Dave grilled hamburgers for us. 

And Logan went to watch the fireworks down at the park. 

The wind was blowing so hard I wasn't sure if they'd carry on with the fireworks, but they did. 

The rest of us watched from the deck. 

It's always fun to get pics from others tho...

That's baby Lincoln and baby Arthur, both wearing the 4th of July onesie. 

Arthur is about 2 weeks older than Lincoln would have been on the 4th.
