Visit from the family

We were very lucky to have Mom and Dad Cummins this week. I don't have any pics since I was out of batteries but thought I would update anyway. We started the week with a couple hours at the beach, the water was warm but the weather was HOT! We had record heat this week. We were in the 105-106 degrees for the time they were here. So the next day we headed out to the beach to escape. WOW what an escape!! We got there and the temp was 65 degrees!! It was amazing!! Anyway, the kids and I loved having the family here for a visit!

A new hike

We spent last sunday doing our two favorite things, hiking and exploring the beach. We started off at the McKay Marsch trail on post

It was a shorter hike, in between 1-2 miles, but we figured we owed them a shorter one after our first hike that was 5 miles. It was a nice trail, not concrete but definitely cleared. We even found thimbleberries.

Afterwards we went to a beach that is located on post called Solo Point. It was full of these little crabs that were running all over the beach, so the kids spent the better part of 2 hours collecting crabs.

Although the kids didn't seem to feel it, the water was freezing and Scotty and I didn't stay in long. While we were sitting on the beach we noticed porpoises in the water swimming so we were able to watch them for almost 30 minutes. It was alot of fun, even if everyone came back stinky!!
