a saturday afternoon

Sometime I think we live in the coolest place
and I mean that two ways
cool chilly, fresh, cold and calm
and 
cool neat or awesome!

on the island is and old 1880's fort. 
its one of 3 forts that protected the Puget Sound from a possible attack that never happened
but now it is the best place to explore and fly kites!

We took a picnic dinner and
tried not to freeze while we ate it! 


look I'm on the blog!
wrapped up in blankets and 2 coats
yes its summer 



Eric loves to fly kites!
 he bought a new kite that I love because it's a rainbow!



there was enough wind to get 4 out of 5 kites up!

while some were flying kites


others explored the fort


she loves him


Do you love the cruise ship in the back
we must have seen 10 go by

 he is so sweet with her!

 we were joined by others









after awhile some of us headed down the bluff to the beach



deep, cold water it has an immediate drop off



3 hours of hiking and exploring
mom was  exhausted slightly worn out

 dad was still loving his kites!
it really was an awesome day!
peaceful, quiet and everyone had a good time!

You really do live in a beautiful place!! I love the kites...so fun. I was in Modesto last week for a reunion...it was hot! But it's hotter this week! Do you ever miss the heat? I know you were not one to stick around Modesto in the summers.

p.s. Still love reading your blog. :)
