Across
- 1. Peter and the boys ascended this Seattle landmark this summer. (Amy declined to join in.)
- 3. Peter’s best meal of the year was high tea at the Empress in this Canadian city.
- 4. The boys changed schools this year, so their new mascot is this animal which shares its name with a classic Ford model introduced in 1964.
- 7. The annual Mayer clue: Peter got to go with his brother Jeremy, Jeremy’s wife Daniele, and Daniele’s sister to three nights of Dead & Company at this incredible Vegas venue
- 8. Sam’s mouth got a little more metallic with the addition of these in November.
- 10. Amy accompanied her dad to this Nebraskan city for a family funeral (but she missed the College World Series)
- 11. Amy is in year 3 of being principal at Cordova while Peter is in year 8 at Jesuit, and this meme has dominated both of our schools this year.
Down
- 2. Amy’s Mother’s Day was spent rooting for the Yankees as Ben got to see this AL MVP (his favorite player) play at the terrible excuse of a ballpark in West Sac.
- 5. The boys (Peter included) are now watching this cartoon classic from the beginning and paying attention to the sentence on the chalkboard during the intro each episode.
- 6. It is not quite a time machine, but it is Amy’s favorite purchase of the year for our backyard.
- 9. Peter’s parents generously took us on a cruise to this state known as The Last Frontier
