Memorial Day Madness

Memorial Day weekend was a little wet, but that didn't stop us from having a great weekend.  Camping, no less!  Saturday was beautiful, and we spent it at Aunt Katy and Uncle Joe's house.

 

 Making our scary faces while waiting for the Sea to Ski parade to start.

 

Nathan was our lookout man.  Mom heard a lot of "Mom, LOOK!  A ... (firetruck, rescue boat, fill-in-the-blank)."



Hanging out at the campfire (camping night #1).    

This was a beautiful day, a beautiful evening, lovely sunset.  And then it rained most of the night.  We showed up at Aunt Katy's door the next morning before they had even woken up!  It was nice to spend the day in a dry place.  Dad and Uncle Joe took us to an indoor playground while Mom and Aunt Katy went for a fun, muddy, and peaceful trail run.  That evening (after a full day of rain) we headed back to our wet campsite, which wasn't as miserable as it probably sounds.

Roasting S'mores in the rain (camping night #2).

 

 There was a nice low tide on our last day, so we hiked to the beach and explored tide pools.  We saw lots of sea stars, sea anemones, limpids, and crabs.  I have four rock crabs and a hermit crab in my hand here.



 I got stuck in the muck.  Daddy literally had to pull me out.  (Notice how deep Dad's right foot is.)

Silliness at the beach.
