Ocean Shores

Better late than never :) At the beginning of May we spent some time in Ocean Shores, WA. I just love being on the ocean! The smell, the sounds...LOVE IT ALL!

Saturday and Sunday mornings, Isabel and I got up while everyone else was crashed out, and went out to the beach. Okay, it was a little after 5 in the morning...so I don't blame them! But we had such a great time, walking on the beach at low tide and finding all kinds of sand dollars!


With the water so far out and the sand still wet, we saw some amazing reflections!


But the thing that amazed us the most was, while we were out playing around by the tide pools, we came across a spot that Isabel named the "Crab Grounds" where there were hundreds of dead crabs that washed up like a buffet for the seagulls and other birds. We hung out for what seemed like forever watching the birds going crazy!


In the afternoons we went down to the beach again, only this time...we found tons of amazing kites blowing in the wind. These things were HUGE too!


Pizza for lunch at Dugan's was amazing...but dinner was a little harder to find. I wanted crab legs...BAD. But after hunting the locals places (one seafood place had everything but crab!) we ended up back at the hotel restaurant for dinner...and my crab! Fun and relaxing weekend! Another place I would definately go back to visit!

Our Memorial Day Weekend

Spent the long holiday weekend with the family on our first camping trip of the year! We had planned on going spelunking at Ape Cave on Mt St. Helens but they still had 3 feet of snow, so we opted instead to stay close to home, and made the one hour trip to Entiat WA. We camped at Silver Falls Campground which was right across the road from the waterfall. So awesome listening to the falling water all day...and night. I loved it!





When we got almost to the top...we got to walk behind the waterfall! I think that was the kid's (and my husband's) favorite part :)



Then we went to check out Entiat Falls...



...and Box Canyon.



When we were at Box Canyon, the thunder and lightening started rolling in so we headed back to camp to put up some blue skies. Then...it didn't even rain!



The last night before bed...we did a little firewriting! The kids went nuts! It was so much fun!



We had a great time in Entiat and plan to make it back up there another time in the near future to check out three other waterfalls that fall from the cliffs on the other side of the river. More adventures...more FUN!
