This past weekend, Boookie and Ela went to the Tolo dance with a bunch of their high school homeschool friends. The theme of the dance was "Pirates vs. Aliens."

Monday was "Superhero Day" at the homeschool co-op, so Eejee went as "Super Otter."

Meanwhile, the Mayor and Hobbit Wife got to hang out.

The Hobbit Wife finally got to visit a point on Whidbey Island that she has looked at from the other side of the water for many years.

Here is the Mayor pulling up the geologic map on his phone and discovering just how old these formations are!

It was a wonderful break for all!
