And a third beach!

Today we met my parents and sister at Jetty Island at 10 am, and the ferry was going to be full until at least 11:30 - so we opted to visit another beach instead. We went to Kayak Point, I hadn't been there in 20 years probably.

The tide was high, so no tide pools. The boys still had fun in the water and on the playground.

It's the best day ever!

We had such a great day today!! It was a blast, we were so busy but it was all so fun!

First, we went to a driving range with Tom, a guy Corey works with, and his daughter (I'm not pictures of them here since I didn't ask permission).

Then I dropped Corey and my sister Carly off at the Children's Museum and walked the 4 blocks to therapy, and walked back again. It was so nice out today, it was nice to walk. I wish I could walk more often.

Carly took pictures for me since I wasn't there.






After that, we stopped and got burgers and then headed to Jetty Island. It's a really neat 2 mile long man-made Island off the Everett Marina. You take this 3 minute ferry to get there. And the best part - no ducks!







On one side of the island you can flip rocks over and find crabs, I'm the only one who would pick them up, everyone else wussed out.

Then we came home and dropped Corey off so he could steam clean while the boys and I took my sister to my parent's. There are frogs in their pond, and we caught several, they are teeny tiny - but I forgot my camera so no pictures of that :(

My carpet looks and smells lovely, Cor did a fantastic job.

Crabbing season - opening day

Today was opening day for crabbing, so we met some neighbors down at the docks. 4 hours later we each had one keepable crab, the kids were getting bored so we decided to call it a day.

We plan to go back out again tomorrow - maybe without the kids - and hopefully get more.








Some harbor seals came to visit, they swam around the entire time we were there, diving underwater and popping back up, I think they were hoping to eat runaway bait.

The main event

Sunday was the wedding. It was a gorgeous day, and everything seemed to go on without a hitch. There was a wedding crasher, who only got caught because he tried to sneak off with 2 bottles of alcohol and a wine glass. It was really funny, my memory card was full so I didn't get any pictures of that bit of excitement.

The cake was super cool.

Finally, the ocean

The entire trip down, and for over a week before we left actually, all AJ could talk about was the beach. So as soon as we arrived in Eureka, to the beach we went.
