Fun at the beach! Visit 2012 part 3

 Casey had to work everyday but Saturday and Sunday while my parents were here, but even with that we were still able to go and have fun on the days he did work.  Up here in Washington you can get some strange weather.  On this day we planned to go to the beach because it was supposed to be the warmest and nicest day.  When we got up that day it was cloud covered and grey all day long until around 4.  Then the sun came out and graced us with its presence. When Casey got home from work we ate dinner and went off to the Steillacoom beach.  Its only about 15 min away from our house.  

There are trains that run right up next to the beach.  The girls love watching them pass.  I think 3 or 4 passed just in the hour and a half we were there.  

Grandma found Riley's beach toys and started building sand castles with her.  Which Riley loved!  Then my mom started to bury her own feet and Ry enthusiastically started to help!  Then somewhere in there she got the brilliant idea to fill her bucket with water and pour it on Grandmas feet.  I didn't get a great picture of my mom's facial expressions but they were priceless!  If you know my mom you know she hates the cold, and this water was not in any means warm.  Then after seeing how fun it was to do to grandma she went over to grandpa and poured a bucket on him.

After the water incident Riley wanted her feet buried too. So along with my help and grandmas we got her covered up.  

 Then of coarse she begged to have water poured on her legs too. :)  Poor grandma! 

After covering herself with sand Grandma daringly went where no one thought she could....the ice cold water.  Thanks to grandpa she got it all washed off and got out of the water as quick as she could.

 The girls thought it was the coolest thing to have daddy swing their legs through the water.  He was doing that when he suddenly stopped and got out of the water saying "jellyfish". 

 Sure enough there was a jellyfish.  It was dead and didn't have any tentacles, but we still didn't touch it except of coarse with a stick. 

Two of my favorite people :) 

Watching the trains pass by!

Me and my crazy, but cute husband :) 

After the beach we went and got frozen yogurt.  What a way to top off a great day out!

We had such a great time with my parents and we feel so blessed that they came up to visit us and our girls.  We love when they come and we love the warmth they bring to our home.  Thank you mom and dad for coming to see me and my family!  We love you and miss you!
