Butt-Tree Island

Yesterday was Christian's birthday. He turned 9 years old. We ate chorizo and eggs for breakfast, Christian's favorite, and then tuna fish sandwiches for lunch. For dinner we ate Christian's favorite chicken poppy seed casserole. It was all very delicious.

After breakfast Abby and our friends Sydney and Annie from Pearl set up a scavenger hunt for Christian. On the scavenger hunt he got some silly putty and a new yo-yo from the Pearl girls. We all did the scavenger hunt together in the woods on Stuart Island. We were then able to show our friends the "butt tree"

The "butt tree" is a large madrona tree that grows near the water overlooking Reid Harbor. The roots come out of the ground and form a giant butt! Yuck! We found this tree last summer while hiking in the woods and just had to come back again this year to show our friends. So, we have decided to rename Stuart Island to "Butt Tree Island". It will now forever be known as "Butt Tree Island". Christian's last clue and birthday present were actually hidden under the "butt" of this tree. He was very brave to stick his hand and arm all the way up the butt of this tree. Ha ha ha!

We all had a great time. We now back at Friday Harbor getting the boat fixed. We hope to go see the new Karate Kid movie today for Christian's birthday. We are also going to the library and bookstore. We are also going to make driftwood boats. We are having a great summer vacation.
