another Aquasox game

We went back to Everett to see the Aquasox again- this time without Courtney and Elijah but with the Butlers. It was hotter and sunnier this time but Eden was more interested in the baseball. Also, my camerawork is slightly improving- I even catch the foul ball going behind the stands.
My video of Elijah playing the piano didn't come out well, but we'll get some good video of him at Mt. Rainier sometime soon.

Oregon Coast

Mt St Helens was on our way to the Oregon Coast, where we visited cheese factories and went to some scenic points. A couple notes on this first video, first you might want to know that Eden later determined which animal caused the hole in the fence (a giraffe). Two, this dance is a bit different from the Mt. Rainier dancing up and down, in that it means she needs to pee.
This video was supposed to be of the birds flying below us along the cliffs, but quickly turns into a video about proper stick use. Note that you can both see the camera move when it is hit by the stick, and even briefly see the stick in the frame at one point.

Mount St Helens

So on Sunday we all went to Mt. St. Helens for the first time. It was pretty great, though Eden was pretty scared of the movie they showed about the 1980 eruption. She looked at the mountain pretty suspiciously from that point forward.
