We are getting the hang of things!

We have made it! It was a very long drive & I don't recomend it for everyone!, but I'm sure there were some memories made! (good & bad!)

On Sat. morning we headed down to the farmers market,& reserved our spot to watch the "Summer Solstice" parade! WOW! Was the interesting! Clayton was waiting for them to throw out candy, but as Eileen said "this is a bunch of nuts & berries group." We had a better chance of them throught out pot! I had Bill take some pictures, but I am not sure how to get them on the computer.

Sunday we went to grandpas house for a BBQ & we aere able to wash our clothes. It was a lot of fun to hang out with grandpa & the kids Love him!

Monday we headed for the beach & i found one in the "city" of Eastsound. It was low tide & we were able to walk across a sandbar onto another island. The kids found tidepools with a bunch of starfish! & tiny crabs everywhere! I think we found our favorite beach already & I'm sure we wil be spending a lot of time there!

The weather has been pretty cool (about 65) but today it should warm up to about 75!

Day before the big trip!

We have been waiting for this day for MONTHS!!!! Now we are down to counting down the hours. Kennedy told me that we could put her to bed "at like, 3:00. So I can get enough sleep, to wake up so early" We are planning on leaving our house @ 3:00am, and getting to Pendelton,OR by 2:30ish. And have plenty of time to run wild & swim @ the hotel. I will be surprised if they make it past 8:oo that night!

Even Bill is a little "giddy" It will be so great to get out of here for a while! The weather is too hot for Bill!
