Saturday was Monti's first grade picnic at a park on the shores of Lake Sammamish. The weather was chilly but it wasn't raining. So far the weather in June has been lousy for the Seattle area. During the picnic we saw several eagles flying around the large trees overhead. They are always amazing to watch in flight. The kids spent most of their time collecting large bird feathers. Since the picnic Monti has been trying to fly with her hands full of feathers. She told me she dreamt she jumped off the balcony trying to fly. Between the fear of her actually attempting to fly and the sheer filthiness of the feathers I decided to just throw her precious collection away.
