After we got back from visiting Mom & Dad, we headed out for the west coast for some crabbing & beachcombing. While we were riding the ferry, we ran across this boat. AT was so excited because he immediately started yelling "Pirate Ship!!" (Most everyone knows he loves anything pirate!)
We laughed and reassured him it wasn't a real pirate ship. Little did we know there was actually a pirate convention (I guess) at FH that weekend. He could have got a chance to see "real pirates" walking around the town. When I was bummed that he could have seen them, he gave me a hug and said "It's okay Mommy, I still love you." Sweet but it didn't make me feel any less guilty for missing that opportunity.
The weather was beautiful at FH. Not one day of rain and tons of sunshine!
The kids took advantage of the weather by kayaking & swimming in the pool. We saw three deer & a fox in our own backyard. There was a seal swimming around our little inlet all week and we caught lots of crab.
Again, I was so amazed at how beautiful the weather was. We had clear skies during the day & at night which gave us beautiful views of the nearby mountains and evening shots.

AJ, Gma K, AD, & AT |
We had a such a relaxing week. No tv, no internet, no cell phones (unless you stand by the flagpole like the Statue of Liberty). It was definitely an unplugged week. Gma K looked good and we got to see the cousins before some of them head off for college. We went book shopping at a great used book store by the ferry landing and even hit some yard sales (loved it!!). We certainly did not go home lighter for some reason . .. .hmmm ;-)
Enjoy your day!!
