Dinovember 2019, Day 5:

When the dinos went to vote for their city council member,

they discovered they had the same choice the humans did--

a new party planner, or the incumbent empty chair!

Who would you choose?!

Dinovember 2019 Day 4:

The Dinos thought more tormenting of the spider was necessary.

Dinovember 2019 Day 3:

The Dinos were not sympathetic

when one of the Halloween spiders

escaped the garage and tried to join in on the fun.

Dinovember 2019: Day 2

Greeny was surprised and hurt

when he realized his friends had forgotten to tell him

about the new banana peel fashion.

Dinovmeber 2019 Day 1:

One kid's trash is another Dino's treasure!
And one Dino's trash is another kid's treasure.
(Does anyone really like banana laffy taffy?!!!)

Christmas Ships--Madeline singing with Seattle Girls Choir

Every year, on the Saturdays and Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Argosy cruises in Seattle sails on Lake Union and Lake Washington with a local vocal group.  They stop at neighborhood beach parks and some private lakeshore restaurants for a carolling show.

On December 1st, Madeline's choir group at Seattle Girls Choir (Cantamus) was the featured vocal group.  We got to hear her perform from the shore at Madrona Beach Park on Lake Union (their first stop).  It was great to hear the performance (although blasted over loud-speaker isn't the best acoustics and Madeline said they were still getting used to the in-boat acoustics at this first performance).  All the other boats are private vessels that follow along for fun--there were some great decorations on those boats, and there were many more of them than the last time we saw this performance.  What a fun tradition that Madeline got to be part of.

Here are a few photos of the boats and a few videos of some of the songs.   Madeline was on the large boat with the yellow-white lights and the light star. 

Dinovember 2018, The End:

The dinos left for DinoLand with some new friends.

See you next year!
