September 19, 2017  •  Leave a Comment

So we continued to race cars and build train tracks and sing "Jesus...

Miss Hannah of the Golden Eyes, went bouldering in the Snoqualmie River:) She felt 'at home' hugging tree giants that dwarf her, as if she was a tiny woodland elf:) I've rarely had to click so fast - she moves from tree to river to rocks, from one idea to the next.

Eastlake High School Senior Photos - Ben
