WA trip

We had so much fun on our trip to WA. This is only a small portion of the pics that I took. The weather wasn't great but it didn't stop the kids from getting wet in the ocean every time we got close to it! The waves are pretty rough in this area so we really didn't let them out very far. We planned to be there over the sandcastle festival and that was a lot of fun. Lots of talented, creative people. The kids played forever in the pits they dug near the castles where they would gather water.

We also flew kites quite a few times. It's nice to have good wind that takes them right up :)

We were there with quite a bit of my family. It was fun to see everyone and spend lots of time together in close quarters. We stayed in a vacation rental house. It was great and worked out really well for meals and such.

Looking at these pics makes me want to do it all over again. I guess that's the sign of a good trip :)

I was so glad were staying somewhere that had a washer and dryer - we put them to very good use over the week we were there. The kids were constantly wet and covered in sand so they were always changing and needing clothes washed.
They thought it was great that we could drive out on the beach too. I should show them these pictures again so they remember all the fun we had :)
