FEELS LIKE SUMMER!!!

Today was the BEST! We got up, packed a picnic lunch and some extra clothes, packed up the boat and headed to church. We said our goodbyes to the wonderful Kaleo students we got to know so well and then headed for the boat launch. It seriously felt like summer! I didn't even think to pack sun screen but by the middle of the day I regretted that as I could feel my shoulders burning and knew the girls would be burned as well.

First boat ride of the year!!!

Captain Amara was crying for the first half as it was her nap time, but driving the boat made her a little happier!

The girls don't look too happy! Sitting with my little friend Elyssa

Headed to Tent Island... lowest tide of the year apparently... we have never seen the ocean so low, so there was lots of exploring and clam digging to be done!

This girl would explore and find awesome things and then realize she had mud on her and start crying until she got distracted by the next moving object.

The men and their boats... 

The biggest and the Littlest

She was pretty fearless near the water this year... big change from last year!

Besties digging for clams

The scenery on Tent island is so stunning!

So is this little sweetie

Super cool starfish

We have heard there was a sand bar that goes from Tent Island to Penelakut and to not take the boat in between but we have never seen the water low enough to actually see it! We were pretty excited!

Gorgeous tree and beach!

Exploring the sand bar... or seashell bar.. the ground was made up of crushed seashells

So many clams!

Gorgeous snow covered mountains in the distant!

The Moms!

This kid... after our long exploring adventure of the island, Amara was DONE... but nothing a few cheezies and cookies couldn't fix!

The men then left to do some fishing, and the girls got in their swim suits!

7 girls between the 3 families... Kailey is missing in this picture... hence why the men left fishing! 

Brave little baby girl!

Sleeping in their "home" 

The day was perfect and was complete with my baby falling asleep in my arms on the boat ride home. I do not remember the last time this happened and so I cherised it deeply. Those eyelashes! But as soon as the boat stopped she sat up and was ready to go... my little baby is growing up!
