Lummi Retreat

Since it was presidents day weekend we decided to take a quick trip up to Lummi. Awww what a great plan that was!!!
My dad had been in Houston part of the week and flew in Friday. We took off after everyone got out of school....ugh Friday afternoon traffic on a long weekend....needless to say we didn't get to the ferry dock till 10:30pm.....and the next ferry was at 11:10pm. But we were greeted with open arms!

We headed right down to beach first thing in the morning to look for glass. It was pouring down rain.....that didnt stop us!

Bob and I on the beach looking for glass. We were hoping that after a few big winter storms the beach would be full of glass....it wasn't as full as we had hoped.

Saturday night was the February birthday party at my aunt and uncles house. It was so good to see everyone! And celebrate my birthday......I share mine with 3 others in the family! Its the only day all year that there are multiple birthdays on one date and there are 4 of us that share the 8th!!!

The February Birthday Bunch (minus Paige). Brett, Me, Gord, Lynne and Rick.

Sunday had some better weather, thank goodness! But we were missing my mother....dang it, she had to work. So we had some fun with out her.....Not to much, we saved the real fun for when she got home!

I think this is when he is the happiest and most calm.....I am so glad I could share my love of beach combing with him!

Us heading out after a fun filled weekend.

Caymus and his cousin Luke...believe it or not Caymus is 4 months older....They sure are cute in their camo hats and shaggy hair!

Grandma and her babies in the morning. Its their favorite time with her!
