Lost Summer

I found these pictures that I forgot to post. I read an article in Sunset magazine about a local beach with water temperatures that hit 70 degrees on average in August. Um, we Washingtonians love our beaches but we don't normally get to swim in the water without a wet suit. So we packed up the kids and checked out Twanoh State Park on the Hood Canal.

Arlie's all suited up for water fun! Doesn't she look like a beach volleyball player?

Arlie was kind of afraid of the water at first. And she definitely didn't like that she could see fish swimming. But with Andrew's help she got to the point where she wouldn't get out. The water actually was pretty warm and very clear. I even went swimming!

Andi really like playing with the floaty divider and the small pebbles.

Poor kid couldn't sit upright with her life jacket on though.

 Another video of Andi just chilling while we laugh at her non-reaction.
