The Many Years of Kids and Pirates

What started out as a lark way back in 2006 when Ryan was just a little baby.  I got his picture taken with one of the Seafair Pirates.  Back then I knew very little of this group.

Over the years, Ryan has grown and so has my appreciation for this rag tag bunch of scallywags.

The Fremont Solstice Parade 2011!

A grand and wet day out at the annual Fremont Solstice Parade!  We packed up the family and invited my friend Susi who recently moved from my homestate, Minnesota.  Here are some pictures!

Susi, Clyde, Caroline, and Ryan all ready for a soggy parade!

Now Caroline is taking the picture and I get to sit.  Note my festive shirt over top of my warm fleece.  

I should have warned you that you might see naked people.  On Bikes.

Clyde had a blast!

Ryan is an active parade watcher!

Hard to tell, but here is Clyde being "Blessed" by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.  Now all of my boys have been blessed, and a family tradition is born.
