Washington Trip 2014 - Jetty Island

 Our family went to Washington state for two weeks at the beginning of the month.

I took a little over 3,200 pictures. I've narrowed it down to the best 1,000.

Now, I have to go through the 1,000 pictures and figure out which ones to share on our blog.

It's gonna take me a while and I'm not going to blog in order of what we did,

 just in order of which pictures I get organized first.

...

One day, Sean and I took the kids to Jetty Island in Everett.

It's a man made island where the Snohomish River meets the Puget Sound (I think).

You have to ride a little ferry to get to the island.

The kids were so excited to go to the Ocean and play on the beach.

When we got there it was low tide.

 

 

The kids just enjoy playing in the puddles of water and the sand.

And I was content to sit my pregnant self under our big umbrella and just take pictures.

 



You can see in this next picture that the tide was coming in.

I was amazed how quickly it came it.

 



At one point there was mist on the beach. It looked so strange.

 



Lexi dug a river from a little puddle. She was pretty proud of herself.

 



And here's the water right before we left. It was almost up to our blanket.

 



The girls covered themselves in sand and pretended they were eels.

Here they are trying to scare me.

Eli was so happy to just play in the sand and water. He had a great time.

 



Avery just dancing around and being her silly little self.

 



Lexi trying to cover her brother in sand. He was not a fan.

 

 

It was a fun afternoon. I'm glad we went. I think we'll go again to Jetty Island next summer.
