Weekend at Club Roberts

 February is always our annual snowshoe weekend with the Ackersons.  Unfortunately, while the rest of the country has been pounded with snow, Washington's mountains are pretty bare.  We were unable to find enough snow to snowshoe on!  We spent a nice, sunny weekend at Club Roberts instead. 
 
Waiting for the ferry to Port Townsend.

A lovely trip across the water.
 
Leaving Port Townsend after a nice daytrip.

Kayaking on unusually still water.
 

 Swimming in February?!  The adults thought it was way too cold for that, but the sun was out so the kids thought it was summer.

 
 Mom froze just watching them, but this was actually Nathan's second time in the water, and Elsa spent a long time on the water after this, too!

Sunny Saturday!

We found a fun beach in Seattle to play on this beautiful Pacific Northwest day.
 
Then we rode our bikes to the Ballard Locks.  We saw several boats go through the locks.  The most fun were this Argossy ship and a tugboat that was so large it had to go through the big locks.

 
Then we rode back to the beach to play until dark!

An impromptu trip to the zoo on a somewhat dreary day yesterday gave Nathan and Mom one on one interactions with all of the animals as the zoo was nearly empty of people.  We had this mama tiger and her three cubs all to ourselves.  Nathan also got a solo ride on the carousel.
