My family and I have been playing hooky for the last few days - that is if we had started school we'd be playing hooky. We decided to take one more long weekend before all things Autumn start - like Fall church schedules, home school co-op, and last but not least the return of the rain!! So off to Papa and Grandma's house we went - on the Washington Coast. I have lots of pictures (the area is
sooo beautiful!!) so I'm sorry if it gets boring - kinda like watching someones
slide show :0)!!!
We spent one day at a beautiful lake in the
rain forest:
Goin' fishing with Papa:

In the forest:
Crawdad

The catch:
Tasty appetizers - yummy!!!
We of course, spent time on the beach - this beach is almost always foggy and cold - but we were blessed this time with some clearing and no wind (unusual!!)
Then the kids had a good time playing by the awesome little creek near Grandma and Papa's home:
That water is COLD!!!
Sam found a beaver skull in the creek:
Playing an ancient vine maple fort (a God made fort!!)
We had a marvelous time and now are ready to start gearing up for the season to come!!!

Oh my! So beautiful! It looks so peaceful. I don't live in WA but close. ;) We have some areas like this in my state but not near where I live. I live in the desert part. We have some quality sage brush though. Yep.
That is some beautiful landscape!!! It is neat to see how different yet beautiful all of God's creation is and wonderfully made. Looks like a great time:)
Hi Sweet Friend!!
I love all of these photos and they are not boring at all!! The one of the tree and the fungi growing on it is awesome. And is that all drift wood in that one pic? I love driftwood, and if there were more of it here, I'd have some everywhere!! I only have one piece in my beach/spa theme bathroom. :(
I bet the kids had a blast! They are all so cute! Love the crawdad pics, too! Funny I thought crawdads were southern thingies!!
Who knew??
