Our day started with leaving Boise early and then meeting all the rest of my family up in Othello, WA around lunch time. My mom was raised in Othello for part of her life so we all went and saw the farm where my grandparents used to live. It looked so different than what I remember. Time changes things.
Then we started the caravan and headed to the Seattle area. It wasn't that long of a drive and it's so gorgeous on that side of the state. We made our way north to Everett and over to the Mukilteo Ferry which took us on to Whidbey Island. We found our rental and got settled. It's a beautiful house with a beautiful yard and an unbelievable view out into the bay. We made our way down to the "beach" but it was very rocky and teeming with teeny tiny crabs everywhere! Bryce was in heaven...Zack not so much...ha ha.

On day two, we got up and had decided to take a ferry over to Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. Well, the ferry was sold out so we stayed on the island and headed up to Deception Pass which is the bridge that goes from the north end of the island over to mainland Washington.


My cute parents. :)

The beaches below Deception Pass.

Grandma gave all the kids big ziplocs to keep their shells and rocks in. Avery loved filling hers up.




This picture totally cracked me up. Mel was helping Avery with the sand toys and Avery was being such a ham and a total poser!

After hanging out at the beach in the north, we went down to Fort Ebey and saw the gun battery from the old fort. There were all these tunnels and dark rooms. Zack had is flashlight and you could barely see anything it was so black. Mel told Zack to come take a pic with her. I told him to look scared. He had no idea what she was doing in the pitch dark and this was the result!

We got back and were all pooped but Bryce found the energy to swing on the amazing swing in the back yard.
