Election 2020

 ...has never felt so important!

We were finally like, we need a sign. But apparently the Biden website takes around 3 weeks. So I texted a friend who texted a friend who said to take her sign directly off of her lawn (in North Richland!) and she could get another one from her friend. haha. 

Olin's China report

Successful flu shots. They get one every year and were fine with them until one year at Target where the pharmacist didn't have a gentle touch, to put it lightly. It's amazing how one bad experience will taint all the good ones. So they are a little more nervous now when I say it's time for a flu shot, but Rite-Aid guy was a good shot-giver and they did great.

San Juans overnighter

We booked a 2-night trip to the San Juans and had a decent time. The ferries were pretty late going both directions, the weather was pretty foggy/overcast, our airbnb was small, dark and not set up well to watch TV (ha!), and many of the things we wanted to do like renting bikes, some restaurants, oyster shucking, and zip lining were closed. 

Other than that, it was great. ha! We did go to English Camp (second photo) and a small hike along American Camp where the kids foraged for big wooden sticks and had a great time. We went to dinner at one good restaurant called Downriggers, and we visited Roche Harbor which was pretty cool and home to a restaurant that Theodore Roosevelt stayed in in 1907.

Christian got all the way up to the second story of this purple run

Olin's work: Very funny what he decides to reduce  (1 1/3) and then what he reduces partly (3/6) and then when he doesn't realize it's just a one (like 8/8)
