Friday to Lopez

3-Anacortes Ferry Dock

I took Friday off work to go with Christina's high school outdoor group on a three-day weekend trip to Lopez Island. Chunlin drove up Friday evening, not arriving till 10:15. She couldn't get the day off. Darn you, big company!

Chaperoning this group was actually pretty easy. The kids organized and ran the outing themselves.

With 70+/- high school kids, that was no simple feat!
13-Ferry Road Kids
The five in the back look like trouble, though. . .

Once at the park (about 3 p.m.), there was kickball and frisbeeing galore. Us chaperones did a lot of standing around talking. Or sitting.

Christina learned how to get out of a flipped kayak, right it, and get back in.

The sun set.

And then we had dinner cooked by the kids. . .

More photos on flickr. Saturday and Sunday to come.

Between the two miserable weeks of rain, you had a LOVELY weekend for the adventure. It is great that this program exists at the school, and that it appears to be very well run. Well, at least the natives weren't restless when greeted with beautiful weather. ;)
