Back at the sandy river

We went to the sandy beach again this week. Here, Catie practices being a tiger.



Miranda ponders deep thoughts.


And Erika gets in the water up to her armpits all by herself!

Blueberry picking

Today we went blueberry picking. Erika decided to be a cat for the day. Note how she is saying meow in this picture.



Miranda take blueberry picking very seriously.


Catie also helps the cause. We wound up with over 2 lbs of berries. That is a record with everyone's 'help' and constant need for quality control tasting.


The farm where we picked.

Pool Pictures

Even when it is chilly in the morning, the girls want to play in the kiddie pool. When I, Mommy, refuse to let them put water in their pool in 60 degree weather, the girls play in an empty pool


Catie enjoys her pool time, even without water.


Erika and her cute smile. Miranda is investigating something interesting in the backgroud


Miranda and her special clogs. Don't leave home without them.

River Park

Erika's friend, Takara, lives near a river park with sand.

Miranda has fun with the shovel.


Erika finally gets some good sand. Most of the NW beaches are rocky so this is a real treat.


"Hey! That guy is swimming. I want to swim." Catie is ready for some water action, impatiently waiting for Mommy to start the wading.

Fourth of July 2010

These photos are actually from our drive back from Orcas Island. The rest area has these amazing historical artifacts called Phone Booths.



Erika is still not a fan of loud noises. She wants me (Jason) to set off the fireworks while she "hunkers in the bunker."
This must be some Mythbusters saying, since I don't recognize it from our usual conversations.

Jason and Erika take fireworks very seriously.

Seattle Aquarium Visit

Since Daddy had the day off, what better use of time than to spend it with the starfish at the Aquarium?



Erika prefers face painting.


Octopus!

Erika does a fish impression.
