Oyster Run

We couldn't have gotten out of town fast enough on Friday afternoon.  It was a crazy busy week and we were very ready for the weekend to start.  Best of all, we were headed to Anacortes to camp and go to the Oyster Run on Sunday.  We met Sebastian, Mindy and Dillon there.  

The camp spots we stay in are wonderful.  They are right on the water, overlooking Fidalgo Bay.  We can see Mount Baker, the San Juan Islands and enjoy watching the boats coming and going from Anacortes.

The boys love being able to play in the grass, move to the water to throw rocks (and get wet) then head across the way to play on the playground.  Climbing, swinging, sliding...do it all over again. Colson even managed to get a bloody nose somehow!They also rode their bikes a ton.  There is a great walking/bike path that goes right through the campground.  One way goes into town.  The boys and I rode both ways on the trail a few times.  The boys rode, I walked.  I walked a lot of miles as they rode their bikes!

Saturday we went into town to visit the Farmers Market.  It's a small one, but we bought fruit, a yummy cookie and brownie and then had some lunch.  Chris had a huge burger and the boys and I shared some Mexican food.

Sunday was the Oyster run and the bikes were rolling into town all day, then heading out of town all afternoon and evening.  There were thousands of bikes.  The streets were filled, the parking lots were filled, the alleys were filled and there were still more bikes.  It was fun to wander the streets and look at all of the booths.  The boys didn't have as much fun, of course.  There really wasn't anything exciting for them.  :)

We wish we would have had an extra day to stay and just enjoy and relax.  What a great weekend. We were blessed to have time with family and friends, enjoy the sunshine and let the kids play.


Enjoying every moment.
