SPENCER SPIT

last month we packed up the trailer of tears and headed out to anacortes where we caught a ferry to the san juan islands. our destination was spencer spit state park on lopez island and it was amazing!

see how cool? as you can imagine, hours were spent tossing rocks into the water. and we came home with enough collected sticks and rocks to build a small village.

the guys became junior rangers. they learned how to bake cinnamon rolls in a makeshift convection oven for the fire, cook apples in foil, identify local birds and clam shells, and other neat-o camping stuff.

we visited the local farmer's market. it was super cute. there was a juggler there that let the kids try out their stuff with his gear. we also picked up local meat and veggies to cook for dinner over the fire and had a potpourri lunch...crepes, tacos and fudge.

we rode our bikes around...

looked cute at the beach despite the rainy weather...

and made our own monocles out of materials straight from nature. wyatt is crafty like that.

the boys get their craftiness from their dad, i'm sure. they picked out some supplies at the store and created headdresses and jewelry for hours of fun. yes, they play "natives."

this was a fun family trip for all of us. we will surely return.
