Getting back into things

I was told that I need to get my blog up and going so I am back and ready to attack it full force. I will be posting pics of our upcoming move to Alaska and the many adventures we will have.

Day in Forks

We went and spent the day exploring Forks and LaPush Wa with family!

The kids managed to make a gym out of this log, thankfully without slivers involved.

My florida Training!

Thanks to the Army I was able to go spend a week in florida training. It was very interesting and full of info but I did get to have some fun with friends.

.

I am really looking forward to taking my family back and spending some time exploring all the magic that is down there!

TDY

I had the oppurtunity to go to Florida for a week of training, compliments of the US Army! It was HOT but absolutely beautiful.

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!!

Shop Hop

We went on a shop hop this week and did it in many different ways. The first day we took all the kids and papa. We drove along the kitsap penninsula and up to Port Angeles. Where the kids and I got to see our first whale since we have moved to the northwest. We had a picnic and played on the beach. It was a blast. The second day just the girls went out, me Nana Nene and Sassy. The girls also received fabric and decided my roof was the way to display them. The last day I went out with just some friends and had a lot of fun. We hit 34 shops total so I think it was very succesful.
