Beach

We went to two beaches this past week. On Thursday we had our company party on Lake Sammamish. The boys loved it as usual. The weather was perfect so Marisa and I enjoyed being outside in the 78 degree sun, slight breeze, boys entertaining themselves while we laid around on the grass.

Then we got together with some of our friends and went to Pacific Beach for the weekend. It is turning into an annual event because it is so much fun to camp together. Beaches in Washington are very different from our beach experiences on the East Coast. First off, you always end up wearing a jacket at least part of the time. What makes it so much fun is that you can drive and do fires on the beach. At times you get some really nice sun and go out into the water, but no body boarding because the slope of the land is so gradual you would have to walk forever to get into water up to your waist (makes it nice that you don't have to worry about your kids as much as they play in the water either). On the flip side, it makes for great skim boarding. I fell pretty hard once doing that and am still feeling the pain. We played lots of Bocci Ball while the kids dug in the sand and found crab/clam shells. Below is a video of us w/ our final night bonfire at sunset.
