Baking, sewing, hiking in the rain, Goodwill, and some down time!

 The girls made brownies for dessert....
 I brought some hand-sewing...I'm making some doll clothes for their American Girl dolls.  Jade and Amaris were inspired, so they sewed pillows for their dolls.  Then Jade designed and started a skirt for Amaris' doll--it's looking good!  I'll post a pic when it's done.

 Thursday was grey and drizzly but we found a good hike near Bellingham...
 Followed by a drying-out session at a coffee shop, then a family trip to Goodwill.  That was the highlight!  We let the girls shop and try on to their hearts' content (a true sign of vacation mentality, since I truly hate shopping, and "trying on" above all)--it was hilarious to hear the conversations coming from the dressing room....and here they are after we got back with their finds....a quick swim and a fashion show...


 ...pause for a show of loose teeth....
 Pretty great shopping!
 Then a bit of down time with a stack of books before dinner.
