We toured a historic lighthouse in Newport built in the 1870s.
We went to Shipwreck beach in Fort Stevens State Park where rough seas and wind grounded the "Peter Iredale" in 1906.
We went on a hike through a forest on top of a ridge that opened up onto this large meadow overlooking the coast. It was so beautiful!
We took advantage of the nice weather the other day and went on a picnic to Owen Beach at Point Defiance Park. Jordan was in heaven throwing rocks in the water and climbing on all the logs and Megan enjoyed her favorite spot in the backpack. It was a fun little outing!
Jordan didn't freak out like the last time we went to the aquarium. He just kept saying over and over, "Walruses aren't scary."
We also went to the Seattle Children's Museum which was super fun and a good place to be, considering we were having record heat. I was a little nervous walking with Jordan on the busy city streets with the busses whizzing by, pushing Megan in her stroller. Jordan kept saying, "Look Mommy, we're in the city!"
Jordan was a little disappointed when we got inside that there were no huge dinosaur skeletons in the museum like he reads about in his books, but he did get pretty excited when they brought out this tub of dinosaurs and asked him if he would give them a bubble bath.
Story time
This bed was literally as hard as a rock. Megan lay down, looked very uncomfortable and then went and found a little bag of bird seeds that she put under her head as a pillow. 
Megan cracked me up in the grocery store section. She was walking around very quickly, with a very serious look on her face and putting things in her basket as fast as possible. She was definitely on a mission....I guess I know where she learned that from.
I've kept the kids busy, but we are all missing Andrew. Megan kept crying, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" with huge alligator tears running down her face tonight. We are all looking forward to seeing him tomorrow!
Just relaxing on the hammock. This was taken last weekend when I went up to the cabin with the kids since Andrew was working all weekend. Lily and Megan are just like sisters- they can go from loving, hugging and giggling with eachother to ripping eachother's hair out and screaming in less than 2 seconds.
Jordan has become an expert at Legos. He no longer asks me to build anything with them because he's realized that he is way better at it than me. Here are is T-Rex, Brachiosaurus and his latest creation...Triceratops which you can tell he is very proud of.
Megan crashed out on the couch after a long day of playing...didn't even have time to drink her bottle before Mr. Sandman came and snatched her away!!
