Our first day, after we got all set up at the KOA, we drove into
Port Angeles for a walk and to let the boys play on the beach. They got
their shorts partially wet, but had so much fun. It was also on this trip
into town that Cannon lost one of his flip flops over the edge of the railing
into the water. Oops. I'm glad I packed another pair!
We
went on a 6 mile bike ride down the trail, along the water in Port Angeles.
This was Colson's first LONG bike ride on his big bike and he did great!
However, he was pretty tired by the end. It took some encouragement
for him to keep going.
The
boys rented these bikes at the KOA. They enjoyed riding up and down the
roads and all over. Colson's didn't go as fast and really wanted to rent
another one that would go faster!
One
of our stops was to the hobby store. While there were many items there
that the boys (and Chris) wanted to buy, we only left with a couple of airplanes.
I
read and read and read on this trip. I finished three books while we were
gone. It's nice to have a lot of time to read rather than doing other
things that always come up while I'm at home. Cannon also spent some time
reading and finished a book on this trip, too!
Chris
and I rented movies three nights in a row. We've never done that before.
We watched two good movies and one terrible one!
What
do you know...the sprint boats were racing in Port Angeles while we were there.
We didn't go to the race, however we got to see the boats up close on
Friday night while on display in town. The boys liked looking at them and
even got some signed pictures.
Port
Ludlow was our stop for Saturday morning where we looked through a Farmer's
Market, listened to live music, ate lunch, walked the docks looking at boats,
enjoyed the scenery of Port Ludlow marina, took in the fire trucks, learned
about what to do if there is a fire in our house, etc. Before we left, we
got to watch the fire crew cut open a car. It was very interesting for the boys
to watch!
On
the way home Saturday, we took our time and stopped at Fort Warden in Port
Townsend. We've never been there with the kids and they loved (of course)
being by the water, running from the waves and getting sandy. It was
great to watch them. There were a ton of fishermen and we watched one
catch a salmon that they got to see up close.
The
boys love playing with Legos. They took a bag with them on this trip and
built trucks and trailers and had all sorts of fun with their creations!
Enjoying every moment!
