  Good day.  I've come here three times to upload pictures and my dsl has been so blinky and spotty I've given up.  But this time I'm deternip.  Or was that determined.

  Anyhow the above picture is my three best shots of a killdeer at the twin.  I won't even begin to guess how many I deleted to get those three.  The killdeer was desperately trying to convince us where we were at was NOT a good idea.  We *know* he had a nest nearby.  But we didn't know where they nested...I thought it was grass.  When we got home I found out is in the rock.

  Sometime this week we're going to go back and see if we can find it.  Its a bit of a drive, so probably on the way into baton or something.

  Friday was mostly spent grocery shopping.  But the weather was so glorious that on the way home we stopped at the twin and played for a good forty-five minutes.

  

  Saturday there was a low tide so we went and explored Slip Point with my dad.  It still wasn't as low as when I explored it last spring, and found such amazing things, but there were some lovely finds nonetheless. 

  

  this picture "looks" a wee bit off as its looking through the water of a small tide pool.  But I had to share it because I loved all the patterns on the chinamens caps. 

  

   

  

  This lovely piece of concrete used to hold a walkway to a lighthouse which doesn't exist anymore.  Samuel thought it made a great climbing toy.  We won't discuss how high above the water it is!

  

  The afternoon was spent at the river.  And after dinner Zeria broke her bike tire and we decided it was just as good a reason as any to go to Neah Bay and play at another beach.  ROFL

  

  

  

  As nice weather goes around here however.

  That one went.

  And today we're contemplating building an ark.

  Or moving to higher ground.
