At the Beach

We had SO MUCH fun... walking on the beach, playing in the sand, flying our kite, exploring the tide pools, and running from the waves! Billy decided to call the pelicans "crab peacocks," and loved letting the sea anemones "hug" his fingers. Ben loved his rides in the front-carrier, the fresh ocean breeze, and his monitored exploration of the sand and water, (he wished for more freedom!) It was our first family vacation with Ben, and we look forward to many more adventures together.

Family Picnic

It's our tradition to have a family picnic over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate my birthday. Stu took me to Pt. Defiance for the first time on my 19th birthday, which is always fun to remember. It's a beautiful park, and more fun each year with our growing family! This year instead of KFC, Stu and I fixed a lovely picnic, (the menu straight out of Fine Cooking magazine, No. 99- try it, its delicious!!)

Papa Dwight

Billy even called him "Pop" a few times; we had a fun time with Dwight.
