When the sun comes out... everyone in
Whidbey comes out to play!! Last weekend was amazing..the sun was out and it was great!!! We are only talking about in the high 70's low 80's but to us on our island that is the calling for summer....and that meant people were out in their bathing suits, shorts, and tank tops!!! For us, it meant that we were able to turn off our heat for the first time and it was time for a trip to Wally World (aka
Wal-Mart) for some new PJ's - my
boyz opted of course for Batman and Cars... here they are sporting their new PJ's - They truly define the word "COOL"!!
Saturday was an amazing day with heat and sunshine!! By 12:00 our car was packed with beach toys, a cooler, and an umbrella and we were ready to hit the beach! We met some of our friends at Bowman Bay right across from Deception Pass for a day in the sun!! I was hoping that these white legs might attract some color before the fly in! Although the beaches here are not quite the sandy beaches that some may be used to....you definitely are in awe of the beauty - I wish they were clear in my pictures but we had a breathtaking view of the Olympic Mountains
Connor and Cooper had a great time playing in the rocks/sand, climbing the rocks, and putting their feet in the cold water!!! Cooper was a little too adventurous and fell into the water. He opted to stay out of the water the remainder of the day with a bag of pretzels!!! You gotta love comfort food after falling in the water!
Connor on the other hand was my adventurous one wanting to climb everywhere!! Every motherly instinct in me wanted to keep calling after him to come down but I was reminded of Nate's early deployment email reminding me to let "our
boyz be
boyz"!! As the sun was wearing down on him and the tiredness of the day was beginning to set in... Connor retreated to a log by himself telling me that he wished his daddy was home......Don't worry buddy he will be here sooner than you think.. I promise!
Connor and Cooper....you fill my days with laughter and love! Thank you for an incredible weekend as we welcomed the sunshine together!! Here is to many more sunny days ahead at the beach!!!
xoxo Mama
