Puget Sound

So Monday morning of our trip to Seattle (22nd of June) we decided to head to see Puget Sound since it was only like 10 minutes away from Nils & Scarlett's house. We found that out from Ron & Susan, whom we had spent Fathers Day afternoon with. It was beautiful. Ben had a blast playing in the sand, and John kept trying to chase the splash, and throw rocks into it!

Checking out the splash!

I LOVE this picture!

Did I mention Ben was playing in the sand?!


This little "stream" trickled into the ocean. The cove was beautiful.


Daddy teaching John how to throw rocks. Can you see that speck that he threw, and the follow through!

Mommy & John skipping/throwing rocks.

I loved this island. So,strange, yet so perfect a location.

This is how you do it mommy!


So, since John had a minor meltdown/tantrum the day before, we had to come back the next day to get a family pic in front of the cove.

Also, Monday evening, we got to hang out with one of the guys who was in our Bible Study in San Antonio, Chris Black. He got stationed in Washington shortly after graduating flight school. It was really neat to see him, and catch up on what was going on in his life. He was still the same old Chris, which was neat to see!
So, one was too far away, but pretty much everyone was looking (well Ben didn't look at anything but the ground the entire time!), one Chris & Chris must have said something to each other, and John is starting to get frustrated, and the last one, well we are all looking (almost). Bonus, front of Nils and Scarlett's house in the background!!!


So, a brief note about Father's Day. We went to Nils & Scarlett's church which was pretty good. Nils even won a grilling apron for being the dad with the youngest baby there. Too bad, Ben wasn't born a wee bit later!!! Those aprons were pretty cool if I do say so myself. We decided not to brave any crowds for lunch and rather headed to Quiznos, and got some sandwiches to go. After lunch the kiddos all took naps, as did Nils, as he wasn't feeling well. Meanwhile, one of Scarlett's friends dropped her dog off to be watched for a few days. The dog had really long toenails, and her dew claw was almost growing into her paw, so since Chris knew how to trim dog's toenails, he did. I married a man of many talents, I am finding! A better way to spend Father's Day, I think not!! (We did end up spending some really neat time that evening -until the kids went crazy-with Ron & Susan & Lydia, and had some delicious food!!)
