weekend adventures

We are getting ready to leave for Florida in the morning so our weekend was filled with packing, cleaning, and general organization.  It will technically be our first vacation longer than 3 days and traveling as a whole family.  We are beyond excited!!! The last time Dale and I had a week off together was in on our trip to Alaska almost 4 years ago!!!

While our weekend was busy, we saw some exciting things.  Saturday we were surprised by a steamboat caravan who were more than excited to toot their horns for us.  The kids loved the boats and waved bye to every boat that crossed our path.  Our dog also got into a quacking-barking match with a very agitated duck.  This white duck kept picking on our poor dog, Emma, before she finally snapped and the war began.  The boys thought all this was of course humorous and spent the next two days practicing their own version of dog vs duck.

Of course, we were all excited with the super moon that made its appearance.  We are usually cloud covered and soggy in Seattle when this event happens so imagine my excitement when the night was crystal clear.  I grabbed my tripod and was very thankful for such clear skies.  Can you see the man in the moon?
