Dragonfire Pirate Camp '09



There once were two families. They got up early one day and headed toward the ferry dock. They boarded a ferry to Vashon Island. It's parent day at Dragonfire Pirate Camp!


Once there they checked in with Captain Jim Sir. Then on to a tour of the camp.








We all then gathered to hear Captain Jim Sir, and Captain Jacque Ma'am tell tales of the week's events.


Who is this woman wearing a pirate mask and dancing with a chicken?



So, Pirate Camp is over for this year. I hope that the magic will stay with them for a while.

YA! HA!

To celebrate the holiday we went sailing one day, then hiking the next. We enjoyed beautiful weather both days. What a glorious place we live in.


We sailed the northern end of Lake Washington.



We hiked the Heather Lake Trail with the Thompsons. We all made it to the top, and it was worth it!
