Parachuting Over Lake Sammamish

The national acrobat parachuting event will be held at Lake Sammamish was the news. I was picturing a big party with parachutes drawing crazy colored smoke trails in the sky. So I took my son Anton there last Saturday. Some spectators. A lone parachute was just coming down, making some swirls, and then landed right by a woman who was taking pictures. And then there were just people walking by minding their own business in this quiet, lazy Saturday afternoon. My son of course was more interested in throwing stones into the lake and I had to be sure he was not too close to the parachute standing by. It was amazing how high up they could pull the parachutes up into the sky by a boat.

Then my friend Jie called saying come to our house and have dinner with us. So much for a national event.
