Scenes of September

OK, so we are a little behind here with our posting.  Life is just so crazy & is moving at full speed.  Plus, without living in Europe, we just don’t pull out the camera quite as often.  So here is a bit of an overview of the month.

School started for both girls.  Sophia back in uniform, and Lexa going down the street for preschool 3 days a week.  She LOVES it!!

The sun finally came out & we were able to enjoy the summer!!

Sophia & Troy went to camp Orkila for an Indian Princess weekend, and the school had the first fundraiser of the year – Jogathon – with Sophia’s class winning first prize for costumes!  They were the Dashing Disciples – Sophia was Mad Star Mary!

And Lexa met the fire fighters from the local fire house! 

Camp Orkila

Sophia & Troy spent the weekend at the YMCA Camp Orkila with many of our good friends.  The property happens to be amazingly placed on the North End of Orca’s Island in the San Juan Islands, facing the city of Victoria.  We both had to pick Indian tribe names, so I introduce you to Wachiwi (dancing girl) and Winterhawk.  Sophia went rock climbing, archery, pottery, and is eyeing the zip line for next year.
