WA Part 3, Camano Island

After our Argosy boat trip, we headed up to Kevin and Cary's beach house on Camano Island for a few days.  What a treat to get to stay with them in their beautiful home!  They were gracious hosts and we  had a wonderful time.  Their house is on a very calm bay where lots of driftwood piles up on the shore (which made for really cool family pics!).

Bailey, Addy, Thomas, Matt and Papa all headed
down to the water right away.

The Clark's beach house

Kevin pulled out the pool and umbrella so the littles could go for a swim.

When the tide was out, the beach was a great place to explore!

Looking for treasure!  Bailey came home with a bag
of beautiful shells and rocks.

Did you know that rocks can be
shaped like hearts?  This is Cary's
heart shaped rock collection.

Lovin' on Uncle Shoe

Matt, Dad, Mom and Becca

Peanut gets some lovin' from Bailey.  She loves to kiss and hug her little brother or sister already!

Kevin set out crab pods and caught crab for us to eat two nights for dinner!  He gave us lessons on how to crack open the crab legs.  The fresh crab was delicious!

Checking out the crab before he became our dinner.

Kevin explained that he could only catch male crabs.
Any females that were caught were thrown back into
the water because they need to keep having more baby
crabs!

Bailey wanted to kiss the crab!

Beautiful backyard with a beautiful view and my bro,
Matt!  Ladder ball was played many times and we
roasted marshmallows in the fire pit one night.

This is Jack.  He was our buddy.  He
loved to play fetch and went down to
the water with us every chance he got.

Picture time!

It was a bit tricky trying to get 3 girls to look at us, smile, not squint, etc.  As you can see, we got some silly pictures, but then some awesome family pictures!

Parting shot:  We finally got some fresh Washington berries for Jenny (we told her all about them and then didn't buy any until the night before we were leaving)!  We ate berries that night and the next morning like crazy.  As you can see, we think Milly loved the berries too!

Thanks so much to our family and friends for a great trip!
