Washington Vacay

We had a very wonderful visit in Washington this year.  Just the girls and I went this time ~ unfortunately Jon was already back to work and couldn't get away.  The end of July and beginning of August is already a busy, busy time time for him.

The first few days we stayed with my parents and then they moved us to a beach house in Birch Bay... which was beyond amazing.  We were right on the beach!

It was a very fun vacation, packed with all kinds of adventures. Hmmm... what didn't we do? Walks on the beach, exploring the beach, making pickles, making jam, shopping, movies, waterslides, picking berries, picnics, parties, trips to the lake....? Plus a ton of time relaxing, talking and spending time with our family.

 

Birch Bay Waterslides- the girls were here all day and didn't want to leave!

 The girls as the tide was coming in- the water was pretty warm!

and the two that made all this possible, my wonderful parents at sunset

I've already told my hubby if we get to go again next year this beach house is a definite repeat, but he has to be with us.  I'll be dreaming of sunny days at the beach all winter long....  

Busy

What a busy, amazing summer.... and it is almost over. I am back to work on Monday. But now I have super fast Internet so blogging will be a breeze! No more slow Internet raging!

The two youngest girls and I just got back from WA and I am busy working in my classroom, getting it ready for my soon to be fourth graders.

Papa Paul and GB are here and boy are they busy already! Here are a few pics that our CO, TX and KS family are sure to enjoy.

Remember they are both 70+ & we can barely keep up.
