The Beach

First a photo of the grand kids that recently assembled in Redmond. 


This week we joined Ryan, Judy & kids in Seal Rock. Weather was perfect in Redmond, started raining  as we drove through the Cascades but the sun broke out about 10 miles inland and all clouds were gone at the coast. Today was in the 60's with no couds or wind until late afternoon. Perfect!

Went to the aquarium this morning and got up close to some Puffins. 
There were statues that are favorites of the kids. 
Louis likes to rub noses.
There were golden turtles to ride. 

And the beachs are perfect. 
Super tide pools. 
And there was attempts to bury the children. 
We tried to constrain them by hiding their feet.
But it didn't work, they got loose. 
Just enough wind for kites, they flew themselves. 

Heading back tomorrow, should be perfect weather.
