The kids and I, and another homeschool family, took the morning and explored a beautiful park full of woodsy trails and an amazing beach. You can find more information about the park and its history here<\/a>. We will definitely be back! On the way out we met a couple who traveled from Seattle because they heard about the park, so word is getting around! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All six kids in our group walking!! Kids and trees!! So beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here they are exploring the beach. The tide was out and they were looking for shells and crabs and whatever else they could find. I love to watch them exploring and using their brains, and sharing what they know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beach, the driftwood, the clouds… all perfect this morning! (The calm before the storm this evening, as it turns out!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More exploring, and rock throwing before we left the beach to head up to the apple orchard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shaleigh found an oyster shell!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Braden was all about the fish – finding fish, wondering if we could bring them home, wondering how to catch the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And using his stick to fish! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look at those big kids – girls holding hands as usual, all walking way ahead of the moms! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Very excited about apples because they were all hungry from the hike and beach time! They needed fuel for the hike back to the car!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And running and cartwheels!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More apples!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Using a piece of driftwood to get the “good apples” way up high!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was a great day and I can’t wait to go back to explore more of the trails and views and lessons! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
