Summertimes Two

Happy 4th! Today we had a great day at the beach. John was not able to make it home to be with us, but I was determined to get up early and go to the beach as planned. It's been sunny and hot here. One day it will start raining and not stop for 5 months, so we must take advantage! I drove up to my new favorite spot on the Straight of Juan de Fuca, which is the big waterway coming from the Pacific Ocean that empties into the Puget Sound. It is all crystal clear saltwater around here. This is one of the only beaches that has sand and not shells/rocks. We did see a starfish! Anyway, the pics are from today, except the couple with their hats on. I hope to post some of John with the kids when he gets back, but it could be 1, 2, 3 weeks, who knows!!
