Our Fabulous Spring Break!!!

          

We have fabulous friends here in the Northwest.  We have met so many fabulous families that it would take to many entries to thank all of  our friends for there great love for our family(You all know who you are!!!)   The Wilson's (one of our dearest friends) just bought a boat(I am afraid of Boats) and wanted us to join them in Roche Harbor for a few days. I was terrified. They took their whole family on the boat from Bellingham Bay and we met them a few days later.  

We had to take a ferry from Anacortes to Friday Harbor. The drive is an hour and the ferry is an hour. I did just fine on the ferry and the kids just loved it. It never felt like we were on the ferry for an hour it went so quick.  

The weather could have not been any better, Sunny, Sunny, Sunny!!! That is a lot to ask for here in the spring. 

We also had our friends the Donavans and Hammonds meet us there a day later for a fun boat trip.  This is were my boat paranoia set in. We took out the BIG boat to go explore Jones Island. I was so scared but managed to hold it together and really enjoyed the whole experience. Between us, we have 14 kids and we gave them radios and let them loose on the island. It is not very big and we knew that they would not get lost. They collected starfish, rocks and other sea creatures.  The sun was out and the water was so inviting that they all get a little wet. We just had the best time. On the way back to the harbor we encountered a Sea Lion eating an octopus. It was so fascinating.  

Our little cottage we stayed was just what we needed. It was 2 bedrooms, a full kitchen(bigger than mine at home) and 1 bath room. It had a queen bed, 2 full beds, and a sleeper sofa. It fit us all just right. The nights were just gorgeous and being there with great friends was just delightful.

Enjoy the pictures there is a lot!!!!!!
