• Neah Bay with Grandma and Grandpa

  Its been a fun-filled wonderful warm hot sunny day with t he in-laws.  It POURED on Tuesday, so we were rather concerned about the weather for our annual visit with grandma, and grandpa, but today was amazing weather.  Actually hot enough we had to move to the shade when we were at the river this afternoon.

  So this morning they came in about 9 (having got in the night before)  and we headed pretty much immediately to Neah Bay.

  

  The first stop was the marina to see the Sea Lions.  But alas there was only one.  And he wasn't really intrested in showing off.  So after taking some pictures of the reflection, we headed to Cape Flattery.

  

  We were there earlier this summer, but we'd never taken G&G so decided it was time.
  

  The waves were delightful looking down off the cliffs.  VERY foamy.
  
  And we enjoyed each of the five look-outs to its fullest.
  
  And when we were done enjoying the lookout before hiking back we had a nice picnic.
  
  I love what Jer is doing to Jamari. *giggles*  Notice in the background KK's new haircut I did that on Thursday, its soo cute.
  After the picnic we had to head back up the steps and the hill.

  Its a rather steep little booger, and we had to take several stops so that we still had ya know oxygen.

  We also had to take a stop to treat Rainee.
  

  At least we've gotten back into the habit of having her meds with us.

  We also had to have a stop or two to explore.
  

  Don't they look comfy?
  And I of course had to stop and take pictures of the scenery.
  
  I loved this bright colored mushroom.
  
  Making our way up the never-ending hill.

  When we got back to the top we had a grapes snack, and then headed back to see if we could spot some sea lions.

  Once again I had to take pictures of the reflections.  The water in the bay was sooo calm.

  
  And played some more with the textures, and colors of the boats.
  
  And one more boat picture.
  

  We still didn''t see as many sea lions as before.  But we did find one that was willing to give us a nice show, and as a extra bonus we got to see three fisherman cutting up some squid.  Man those suckers were UGLY.  But they were also why we found the sea lion as they were throwing the extras to it.  So we got to watch it throw its food up, torture the seagulls, and so on. 

  I just love watching them.  

  We then drove back home (45 minutes)  and had a lovely sit at the river with a hot dog roast.  And tomorrow is another day.
