Friday Jeff had taken the day off from work and we headed to Alki beach. The sun was out, and the the view of Seattle was amazing. My little point and shoot camera really shows its limitations at times like this. Jeff built a sandcastle, and Kara sat and watched. Since the sand on the beach isn't naturally occurring, it doesn't go all the way to the coastline. So to make the sand workable we had to carry water up to the very, very dry sand. Since all we had was Kara's tiny bucket this required a lot of trips back and forth. Jeff offered several times to be the one to carry the water, but it was such a tiny bucket it wasn't the least bit heavy. After I insisted several times that I would rather be out in the cool water then sitting in the hot sand building the sand castle he finally believed me.
Saturday we went to see the new Harry Potter movie. Amy had offered to watch Kara for us, and Andrew and their kids took us out to the movie.It was sucha warm summer night that we decided to take a walk wround the pond down the hill.
Sunday we went out to visit Jeff's dad and brother in Port Orchard. We ate yummy BBQ and Kara played with her cousin, Andre. The garden gnomes looked to her like 3 of the 7 dwarfs and kept saying "Dopey, Dopey, Dopey".
We decided to try taking the Southworth ferry back instead of dealing with the bridge this time. Since we didn't have to pay the toll, or drive as much it was about the same price and way more fun. Since the 9:15 ferry goes straight across instead of stopping at Vashon it was almost as fast (except for the time spent at the dock enjoying the amazing view). We have decided to go home this way more often!
