September Vacation

In the beginning of September we took a mini-vacation around Western Washington. Here are some pictures of our fun...


On Sunday...We went to Ocean Shores for some fun in the sun. We had lunch on the beach. Candi drove on a beach for the first time.


If you're at the ocean you must fly a kite, the kids each took a turn and had fun making it nose dive into the sand.
Henry built a sand castle with Daddy's help. Lainee found it boring and preferred playing in the bucket of water.
Next we ran in the waves. Lainee loved this part. The waves would come up to her chest. We would pick up her up and she would just kick her legs and laugh. It was FUN!
Henry did not like the waves and chose a place about 10 feet from where the tide came in. He had to be behind this log. Even then he would scream and run away.

On Monday, we had a picnic lunch at Lake Sylvia State Park. We roasted marshmallows and enjoyed sticky sweet s'mores. We also went on a Ferry boat ride at the end of the day. That was the best part of Henry's whole vacation.

On Tuesday, we headed to Woodland part zoo. This was a big mistake on our part, the kids did not like the zoo and asked repeatedly if we could leave. According to the kids it was very boring and had too much walking. The best part was the flamingos and we saw them in the first 10 minutes at the zoo. I don't think we'll do this again.



This was how Elaine saw the animals, I don't even know what animal we're looking at. After the zoo we enjoyed the Seattle waterfront where we watched the ferry boats and ate ice cream.
