Soccer Tournament

We enjoy going to our grandchildren's games and other activities. Recently one of them played in a soccer tournament in Bellingham, Washington. Bellingham is an hour and a half from here and 21 miles south of the Canadian border. Some of the teams drove 15 hours from Edmonton, Canada to take part in the tournament.

The soccer fields were beautiful
Mount Baker was in the distance
Throughout the day the mountain faded in and out of visibility
Bellingham's airport was nearby so the planes cast their shadows on the fields all day. Our granddaughter said it was distracting when a huge shadow descended on the field. 
Almost home - here's our ghost mountain. There's a certain place on I-405, just before our Kirkland exit, that you can see Mount Rainier for a few seconds - if it's a clear day. The mountain appears and disappears very quickly due to the change in the freeway's elevation. The mountain is in the middle of the picture between the bridge and the green sign.
