Salmon!!!

First Coho of the season.  Mark went fishing in rain and was the only brave soul out there.  Got his first one of the season. ~14 lbs and 32"

A day at the beach

We had our first visitors!!  The Sheldon family came up for the long weekend.  As part of the fun we went to the Deception Pass State Park for a picnic and planned "get wet" time.   Water temperatures are maybe in the low 50s so if we don't plan to get them dry and warm we could be ourselves into some trouble.  This time went off without a problem. We had great weather all weekend too.  Mark's enjoying the warm (low 70's)  sun. Here's a link about the park.  I especially like the big yellow box disclaimer about Navy jets!  Freedom isn't free. Washington State parks: Deception Pass

August in Oak Harbor

Been a while, but here's an update.  My main excuse is I couldn't find a cord to pull pics off the camera.  Mission Accomplished.  We moved into our new place about 3 weeks ago and have been on the move every free morning we get. These are from a recent trip to Fort Ebey State park.  Girls were in a funny mood so getting them on the same smile timing was not happening. Mark has been teaching them to catch about every animal that is smaller than them.  This day was focused on crabs. Getting Laurel to only hold on tight enough to not squish and kill them is the trick. Kestrel chose the steep hill route back to the picnic table... but the view was worth it. Snack and silly face time. A recent sunset pic from our back deck.  We are so excited about this place.  The house is awesome, the view is perfect, the commute is 4.5 minutes, and we're close to town too.  Great living here in the Northwest!
