Leaving on a jet plane for Washington State with a layover in Denver. The kids were great flying out. Everyone was asleep at one point in time. They were so excited to get to their cousins that they didn't mind the time it took. Coming home was a different story. The only person who napped was Swee and that lasted about 20 minutes. They weren't all that excited about leaving everyone even if everyone is heading out here in August for Priss's baptism.
Coop's Baptism
Ains's Dance Recital - We were so excited to hear that her dance recital would be while we were out there. They always went to Priss's when they lived in Indiana. She did a great job and we loved being there.
The Sound
Day 1 - it was beautiful at the Sound. The tide was out allowing the kids to see a lot of cool things like...crabs, sand dollars and shells. They had a blasting playing there I just wish I would have changed them into their swim suits sooner. I ended up with a ton of sandy, wet clothes!
Day 2 - took Jason and Dad out to the Sound so they could see the beauty of the mountains against the water. There was even snow still on the mountain tops. Gorgeous!
An actual rainforest. I hadn't ever been to one before. It was neat to listen to the kids talk about what they were seeing with each other and to know that they were learning something as they were talking with each other.
Ocean Shores - a beach like none other I have ever been to. It reminds me of a Mid-Atlantic beach with all the grass growing up through the sand and it was sooo cold. Loved going there though.
