We got back to Seattle and Lily had Choir Camp, Drama Camp, Soccer Camp, and Puppy Camp. I think her favorite was Puppy Camp (surprise, surprise) followed by Drama Camp.

We took a great car trip around Oregon in August. We stopped at Cannon Beach, Florence, Crater Lake, and Sun River. They were all pretty awesome. Crater Lake was particularly striking in its beauty. On the way back from Oregon, we stopped north of Portland and picked up a new dog - Ginger. Ginger is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a real lap dog. So far, I've not been impressed by her house training skills.

Last night we had dinner out at the Cheesecake Factory. Today we saw Ponyo. It was pretty good but probably targeted at a younger audience than Lily. She seemed to have liked it. All three of us really liked the drawing and the color palette.
