Day 12 (7-08-08) Fort Steven's Park and Coffenbury Lake.

On Tuesday, we headed over to Aunt Deanna's place. We had a nice visit and she got to hold the babies. She is holding Brenna.
This is Brenna and the white blanket that Deanna made for her.
Here is Chantrell.

Later, we went to explore Fort Steven's Park. This is a lookout tower. From the top you can see the ocean on one side and then the river on the other side. A nice view from the parking lot.I'm glad I took a picture of where we visited. This is the South Jetty.Barry on the top of the platform taking pictures for mom. She stayed in the car with the babies.Picture of Rhiannon on the platform. It was a windy day but nice and warm. A gorgeous view from up top of the platform.Here is Jazmine sitting dangerously close to the ocean waves.Ryan up on the rocks waiting for the ocean waves to soak him.Beautiful but dangerous. . . we kept warning them to be careful on the wet rocks. Don't worry, nothing bad happened.Ryan thought this was the best part of the day. He lives for danger. See all the driftwood on the rocks. The ocean has thrown those giant logs up on the rocks like they were twigs. The ocean and the beach.This is cute. Brother and sister together. BarryRhiannon joined in for the fun.
Whoa!!! That was a big wave!!After the South Jetty, we went to the beach that has the ship, The Peter Iresdale. All that is left of the ship is the iron skeleton. Barry is taking pictures for mom again. Looking North towards Washington.The spectacular beach and ocean. Ahhhh. . . I wish I could have stayed here for hours.
There is Ryan. He is always running everywhere we stopped.After the beach, we went to the lake for some swimming and paddle boat riding. Mom is getting the kids a paddle boat to play in. Rhiannon, Jazmine and Ryan are putting on the life jackets.The area with the rope is for swimming. The outer area is for the paddle boats and canoes. No motorboats are allowed on this lake.Daddy Barry is keeping an eye on the girls. The kids are out on the lake having fun.Mom is enjoying looking at the lake and the kids.Close up of the kids out on the paddle boat.Jazmine is about to jump out of the boat and go for a swim. All the kids took turns jumping into the lake and swimming around.Picture of my girls doing what they do best. . . sleeping and eating. Chantrell is on the left and Brenna is on the right.

Man, I wished we could've stayed a few days longer, I love all the places you guys went, the pictures of the jetty, and the kids on the rocks were great. It would've been fun to go and paddle boat and swim in the lake, you all had some pretty sunny weather, that is so nice. I can't believe you have posted 11 days worth, I've only done 5 and I have one more to go. I had to stop and help Ashley move, what an extremely tiring weekend, and now we're school shopping for Alanna, school starts Monday the 4th of August, that's this coming Monday and we have Regen's big 1st birthday party Saturday at her other grandparents house...whew!!!

I'm off a day, you've posted 12 days worth...wow! The girls will be glad that you took a picture of them with their great Aunt Deanna, we should've stopped in for a visit, I think only you and Jen did this trip. She would've been overwhelmed if we all went to visit, I'm sure.
