An almost empty home!

It feels rather lonely and quiet around here without company--I mean besides the sounds and noise of the three children it feels rather empty! Grandma & Grandpa Lewis went home yesterday and we sure enjoyed the time we had with them. They were a huge help around the house and with the kids. I especially missed the helping hands this morning as I was getting everyone ready for church by myself! Last week we had some fun time with the grandparents.

Cape Kiwanda
We visited Cape Kiwanda and enjoyed the tide pools and the sand dune. Although it was sunny it was rather windy and a bit chilly--but we didn't complain, we were just glad to see the sun!

Caleb wasn't a happy hiker--he wanted clean pants so we headed back to the car while the others hiked the dunes.

Mara did a total face plant in the sand!

The view from the top of the sand dune is quite exquisite! It's well worth the hike!

Forestry Center

We also visited the Forestry Center and learned about forest fires: Here's firefighter Ty
