Summer Fun

 I am so glad that the sun if finally coming out.  We actually stayed in today because we were all too tired from playing in the sun all weekend.  That almost never happens.  Last week we took the girls to Tumwater Falls.  They love this park and I ended up taking them back a few days later.

 Claire was obsessed with the water in the salmon ladders.  It is a little scary to walk on those grates.  They are very secure but, still it's scary.

 Violet gives the park a thumbs up!

 Claire joined the soccer team for practice.  She had a blast.  Violet is loving Soccer.  She is on the same team as Liv and Wy so she is very happy to have her friends to play with.

 On the 4th we had a busy day.  We went to the Church breakfast...we had been out late watching to Olympia/Lacey fireworks so it was really hard to get up that early.

 We had a flag raising at the church.  It was nice.  A sister read a poem and the children sang some songs.

 Around Mothers day my grandparents gave the girls some carrot plants. We planted them in my parents back yard and on the 4th the girls pulled them out.

 Uncle John helped Claire pull her carrots up.

 Showing off their carrots.

 Fresh Carrots from the garden :)

 That weekend we went to the beach with my family.  It was such a fun weekend.  the weather was great.  We played on the beach, went to a market in Illwaco, saw the fireworks and roasted hot dogs on the beach.  It was a perfect weekend.  I think I could do that every week :)

 The port of Illwaco.  We walked along the docks and checked out all the boats.

 We had lunch at a great seafood place. It was delicious.  I had halibut tacos...yum.

 It was really windy but very sunny on Saturday night.  We had dinner on the beach while the girls and Zelda ran around.

 Zelda was so happy to run around and chase Claire on the beach.

 Claire helped Grandpa fly his kite.

 a huge flock of pelicans settled on the beach.  It was pretty fun to watch them for a while. Someone drove up about an hour later and ran through them and sent them all flying...some people just shouldn't be allowed outside.

 Perfect evening on the beach.

 V got a barbie kite and before we went home we took some time to fly it.  We didn't go down to the beach because we were out of dry clothes and Violet can't go to the beach without jumping in the waves.
