Summer of 2018

It’s been a very fun Summer, but unfortunately I have to believe that it’s coming to a close as the days are getting shorter and cooler, the color of the leaves on the trees is turning and we’re in the midst of Octoberfest here in Fremont.  I figured the best way to mark the occasion is to gather a number of my favorite photos that represent some of the scenes and experiences I’ve witnessed this season.

I found out that Aussie utes can be imported and now I have one on the way

I love being out on Lake Union – paddling on the SUP, in a Kayak or boating.  We always see wonderful sights.

Someone with a good sense of humor had set this scene on the Lake.
This bloke was handing our free Rainier beer from his very special duck boat – score!
Then there was this tourist pirate boat acting out a mutiny with one of their crew members.
A small steam-powered wooden boat in front of the “Sleepless in Seattle” floating home.
There is always a lot of wildlife on the lake – here is a gaggle of geese.

We try to have some adventures over the season.

We caught a few shows including Sheryl Crow at Chateau Ste Michelle – both are favorites.

 

We also enjoyed our trip to the Okanagan wine country in Canada.

We finished the summer with the Fremont Oktoberfest and now look forward to some exciting events during the rest of the year – Grant and Luke’s wedding, moving downtown and a vacation in Hawaii.

The crowds were large but fortunately there were a number of beer tents serving beers from multiple breweries.
Mischief distillery owned by our neighbors and friends, Mike and Patti, was hopping with their new event center.
