Amelia has become a monkey . . . or rather, a monkey bar expert. She loves the monkey bars . . . and plays on them so much, she gets blisters on her hands, but even that doesn't slow her down too much.
Ken has had quite a few gigs lately with his band, "Guava Jam". . . lookin' good and sounding great.
We went to the elementary for S.T.E.M. night and had fun making a marble roller coaster . .
building a boat and playing with a zipline.
But our best activity this month was going to the beach for Memorial Day. We explored 2 in the Olympic National Park that we had never been to before - Kalaloch Beach and Ruby Beach. Different from each other but both very beautiful. And it didn't rain - so there was that. And there was this tree desperately hanging on for dear life - amazing!
Of course, it was cold at the beach; when isn't it? But we came prepared with coats.
I looked like I was ready for a winter storm to hit, but at least I was warm.
On our way to Ruby Beach, we saw this huge cedar tree that had multiple trees growing out of it - I love the way trees do that.
Ruby Beach was covered with downed trees/ logs which made it interesting and adventurous to get to the beach.
And the river rock covering the beach was so cool; I wanted to fill my pockets with them and take them home . . . but I didn't . . . oh, but I was successful in skipping a rock on the water with one of the many flat rocks on the beach. And Amelia was successful in falling into the water, with her coat on . . . thank goodness Sophia brought 3 changes of clothes instead of just the one set I asked her to bring since Amelia was already on her 2nd outfit and wears the same size as Sophia :)
