Back in October, we took our second annual Che family vacation with my sisters and brothers in-laws. This time, we rented a house in Allyn, Washington located on the Kitsap Peninsula.. The house was perfect. Plenty of room for us all. Located right on the beach where we could go fishing and clamming.
Starting off the vacation right!
Dao opted to go fishing.
He LOVES to fish!
Umm.... It didn't even matter that it was the tiniest fish ever. It made him so happy to catch one. :)
The weather was absolutely beautiful! We went for a walk, but the tide was high and the beach was super rocky.
Skippin' rocks.
The pier.
A dock.
B and Kaylin contemplated becoming stowaways and living a dangerous life at sea. But they quickly decided it was a bad idea.
Dao found a rain boot and spent the next hour searching for it's mate.
Playing fetch.
Basking in the sun.
Kaylin takes every opportunity to be "tall". (haha!)
Emma found many cool looking rocks. (Notice in the background that Dan is recognizing how extremely tall Kaylin is.)
He asked for a picture with his boot before we made him throw it in the trash. He tried to bet us all that he would find the mate before the weekend was up. He never found it.
There is never a bad time to yo-yo.
"Guard dog", Chloe is watching Haley's back while she checks out dead things on the beach.
A pretty park.
Clamming!
Clams!
Low tide.
To say that she was covered in sand is an understatement.
She found one!
It was a family affair.
A couple of worn out doggies.
We found Oysters too! Dao shucked his first Oyster ever.
Then, he made Bryan shuck his first Oyster ever.
Haley and Emma had saved up money to get new ipod touchs, so we headed South to Portland to buy them and save money on taxes. This sign cracks me up!
I can't go to Portland without going to VooDoo!
Linh got the VooDoo man and he was filled with jelly!
We brought some home too!
I LOVE these trips, and hope we continue doing them for years to come!
