Go Fourth

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS: Sunday morning, I made sure to be up early so that we were set to watch the final match in the women's FIFA World Cup Championship. The U.S. was taking on Belgium. I decided the day before that having U.S. inspired toppings on a Belgian waffle would be the way to go for breakfast. So simple, and a fun way to start the day.

It was a great game, and the U.S. came out on top, so hooray for that. I'd like to think my waffles helped the cause. ;)

UP ON THE ROOF: Our Fourth of July was pretty low key.We didn't light off a single celebratory explosive device ourselves, but did climb up onto our roof to watch other people's money go up in smoke.  We have a 180-degree view to the south, and could see fireworks in Renton, Issaquah, Federal Way, Auburn, Kent, Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila, White Center, and likely even as far south as Tacoma. The photo below shows about  a third of the slice of sky we were watching, right before things got crazy.

FLIPPED A DISC: We spent a couple of hours playing disc golf for the first time. Turns out there's a big ol' course not too far from our house! We headed out in the morning and played 15 of the course's 27 'holes.'

As an added bonus, the course is under the flight path for SeaTac Airport, so we got to do tons of plane spotting while playing.

Some of those planes were pretty darn low when they flew over!

Each 'hole' (they're baskets, really) on the course had some sort of sponsor or dedication. This one cracked me up.

We really enjoyed the outing, so much so that we went back on Saturday morning to finish the balance of the course. We've now ordered official disc golf discs (there are drivers and putters, just like 'real' golf), and are looking forward to hitting the course again soon.
