Still finding new places everyday...

It was a little overcast today, but not raining and quite pleasant out.  I decided to go on an adventure with the kids to an off-leash dog park we've never been to.  I very seldom venture North...so chose that as our destination of the day!

We traveled up Hwy 99 to Everett, Washington.  11.2 miles from our doorstep to Howarth Park.  This park has a long section of off-leash dog park right on the Puget Sound.  Exactly where Hank and Grace wanted to go!

We were rather alone on the beach, probably due to the gray skies.  All the better for us!  I got a boat load of beach glass and the kids swam till they dropped.

Gray skies won't stop us from swimmin' !!!!


Beach Glass!!  The blue one was the find of the day!!!






The water was calm and inviting!  If it had been just a tinge warmer, I may have had to dip the ole' tooties in.  Maybe later this summer!!

Enjoy the pics.  A few have some effects from Instagram.  Follow me @katemeyer

Spittin' clams!!

Hello all!

Matt and I took the kids to the Edmonds Dog Park yesterday to get some fresh ocean air.  While we were there we saw something I have never seen before.  The tide was really low and we saw geoduck clams spitting.  (pronounced gooey-duck)  Watch the rocky ground closely to see the little spurts of water shooting into the air!

Enjoy the video!
