May to Now

May, of course starts out with a birthday. In fact, it was a 9th birthday which is amazing to me. C had a nice birthday party with all the rambunctiousness of boys. It was wild and fun.



Both kids were asked to part of the Mini Pole Peddle Paddle. They had 2 practices and then the race. Unfortunately Moriah got sick so she wasn't able to race but Caleb had the time of his life.

Over Memorial Day we went to the beach and hung out with some of Todd's old school classmates who have become great friends of ours. The picture below is of Caleb and their son sitting on a rock wall overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It was gorgeous!


While at the beach, the kids realized that Grandma's house has some "wicked cool" climbing trees. They all spent quite a bit of time seeing how far up they could go.

Moriah and went on a tiny treasure hunt on the beach. These are some of the shells she found. Aren't they pretty.

On Monday morning...early....we went to Haystack Rock to look at the tidepools. Below are some pictures of the critters we saw.

Above is a crab molt (the outside skin of a shedding crab) and a sea slug.

Todd!

The kids got Abbie digging in the sand by digging in the sand. Get it?

Hope your days are great. I think I'm updated on pictures now. That was a whirlwind huh? I'll try to get more pictures up as I take them.
