Pacific Northwest

 For our summer vacation we took a 19hour road trip to Washington State.  While there we jumped in the Pacific Ocean.

Looked for sea shells, starfish, hermit crabs and a whole variety of other ocean life in Larabee and Birch Bay.

 The music man and I took a moment to reconnect and just enjoy the beauty of our surroundings

 Took a family picture with all of us in it.  Our last family picture was taken before Tiny T joined our family..

 Climbed all over some rocky outcroppings, looking in the tide pools as these rocks were all under water when the tide was in.

We were lucky enough to be able to tour a couple of tall ships that were in port for the day.  The crew was in  period costume and answered all of our questions.

We had a great time playing with our friends the N family.  Strengthening our friendships and having a new adventure together.  The boys are already talking about what they want to do when we go back again next year.  It was so nice to disconnect from the world, slow down our pace, relax and enjoy the beautiful world Heavenly Father made for us.
