Exploring Washington

Although it was a gray, overcast day, we took a 2hr drive west. We landed at Ocean Shores-the pacific ocean for those geographically challenged! You are able to drive down the beach--you just aren't allowed to park on it:)

There were Seagulls everywhere!
And, in case you can't tell from our hair--it was crazy how windy it was-and cold!! However, that did not stop us from digging in the sand, collecting sea shells, and attempting to fly a kite:)


This relic makes my blog for comical reasons-plus it is old and pretty cool looking!


Notice the location of the wood and David!...can you imagine where I am going with this?!



He is determined to get this kite up (a $1 kite from the dollar store) And, did I mention how windy it was?Anyway, he lets loose and the kite gets up. He decided to run backwards to get it up higher---yes, you got it! All I hear is "aaaggghhh" I look over and I see David on the ground with his feet in the air and the kite rolling across the sand in the wind!! NO kidding, I was laughing so hard I was crying---and unfortunately, I couldn't act quick enough for a photo!




He was fine, he jumped up and we chased the kite down the beach---the girls were oblivious!!
