My life has been consumed with coaching Jake's First Lego League Robotics team. We have a team of six 6th grade boys. I have been learning lots about building lego's and programming robots -but I must admit the boys are much better at it than me.     This past weekend the local high sponsored Roborama, this was to help mentor the boys with any problems they might be incurring with their robots. These are some of my team members. The competition table.   There is still lots to do before our big competition in December! 

While the boys headed out on another backpacking trip, Jenna and I went to Seattle to see Wicked. The show was great. We both want to go again. After the show, we headed to a yummy dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.   Jake at the campsite on one of their many backpacking trips.     A couple of weeks ago Jenna and I went to see Pacific Northwest Ballet's production of Cinderella. We were glad we went but realized we liked plays better. These pictures were taken at the Seattle Center-it was an amazing sunny day (YES-amazing for the end of September!!) We have had to most amazing weather this fall-I am sure it will never happen again, so we made the most of it.   This week Jake participated in the school districts Pumpkin Run.  Jake did great for his first 1 mile cross country run!
