SUMMER FUN!

Took a few days & went to Ocean Shores Thursday & Friday this past week.

It was very nice to be able to take the time off and enjoy our family time together down at the beach.
John usually works the weekends so, the beaches and hotels were a whole lot less crowded during those days.
Emily & Isaac had a blast being creative and making their own version of a sand castle! Getting buried in the sand and just having fun!
We had no agenda or schedule to go by except for checking into the hotel by 4:00 pm on Thursday.
This will have been the first time for them to really stay away from home somewhere and they did amazingly well. Emily kept saying that this was our new home.

We stayed at a place called the "Gitche Gumee Inn" kind of a weird name for a place but it was really nice for our budget. They had a heated outdoor pool that the kids wanted to swim in later that day and thank God it was heated! The weather was absolutely beautiful but, I don't think it got over 60 degrees.

We played alot at the beach! Also went to an indoor water park down the beach before we left on Friday. They had about 4 slides and alot of water fountains to play in for the little kids. Emily went down one slide w/John but cried the whole way down and didn't ever want to go on it again! The only think I didn't like about it was the floor was really slippery in some spots, Isaac kept slipping alot and so did Emily. Since it was part of the Ramda Inn, the bathrooms were really, really small! Overall it was pretty fun and the kids had a geat time!

I wish we could of stayed a couple of more days down there but, John had to get back to work the next day.

We definetely will be making plans to go back down to another spot on the beach here on our beautiful Washington coast.
