Last Wednesday Golda lost her first tooth.  She was so excited for the tooth fairy to come that she couldn't wait to go to sleep, but at the same time she wanted to stay up all night waiting for the tooth fairy.  Fortunately she did go to sleep and the tooth fairy did visit, leaving behind a note containing, as Golda is quick to point out, a Sacagawea dollar.

A couple of Sundays ago we took a long talked-about trip to Bainbridge Island.

 

With help from a brand new edition of Best Hikes With Kids: Western Washington & the Cascades, recommended by Rick and purchased from our local bookstore, we found a suitable hike at Gazzam Lake Park, followed by lunch at Cafe Nola.  And of course, the two ferry rides were big hits.

 

Unfortunately we forgot the camera so I had to make do with my mobile phone's camera, from which I produced only one worthy photo (below).
