Deception Pass is one of my favorite places to be. I love our annual camping trip to the beach.
Friday was beautiful. We got camp set up and went and hiked up the beach.
Saturday we woke to a little bit of rain. After breakfast we decided to go tour Anacortes. We hit a couple of stores and then found a fantastic park. The community all donated pieces of a large boat that they made in to a large park with musical instruments, climbing wall, swings, slides....the works. It was so much fun. The afternoon and evening we spent on the beach.
Kenzie was Grumpy on the Beach...I got some good pictures :)
The kids also had a chance to become Junior Rangers. They each had a packet of stuff they had to accomplish. They had to learn about animals and plants in the park, pick up litter, answer other questions, and other things. Once they were complete we went to campfire sing-along and they were sworn in as Junior Rangers. It was a lot of fun.
Sunday it rained most of the night and morning. We couldn't start a fire so we decided to take a ride in the car and get dry. This time we went to discover Oak Harbor. We found a really great windmill.
Jack and Jaron both went in to the Ocean more times than I brought underpants for them. We had to dry out their underpants so they didn't have to go home commando.
Kurt went fishing and caught a lot. He caught a baby salmon - of course he threw it back. Then he caught a crab. It actually caught him and then pinched him while they were trying to get him off the hook. Pretty cool. Later he caught a TON of herring.
We stayed at the beach on Sunday to see the sunset. We watched an eagle catch a fish and take it to his next twice. It was SO cool.
All in all -a really great trip. Looking forward to next year!
