Making Memories: fun in washington

we went on vacation in forks, washington visiting kelsey's family for almost 2 weeks this summer. we did lots of fun things! the first several days we were there the temperatures were barely in the 60s. really cold! especially to us coming from 100-degree oklahoma! then the weather changed drastically and it was 90 degrees which is really hot here. these first pictures are at rialto beach in la push. the one above is a huge log that washed up and stuck straight out above the beach. we all climbed up and walked out (handed drew up) for the picture.

all three cuties! they were wearing 2 jackets each over their long sleeve t-shirts. we packed winter clothes and summer clothes and used all of them!

with all the logs and branches on the shore, people make little "houses" or shelters on the beach. the girls found several of these and climbed in and out. they were protected from the cold wind and mist too!

drew was a little frightened of the loud crashing waves, but loved to walk on the sand and pick up rocks (and taste them :)

uncle jon playing "simon says" with the girls!
