Our Seven Month Old

Sitting up, solids, and poised to crawl.

Seven in Seabrook

This past week the six of us headed to the Washington coast for a bit of beachcombing, hiking, biking, swimming, frisbee, badminton, and "Gnome Village" explorations.  The days certainly brimmed with kid-friendly activities, but the evenings were reserved for wine and hot tubbing.  All of this punctuated with the twins turning 7 on Friday.

Our first walk on the beach (i.e freedom from the 4+ hours in the car).

A seagull taking flight.

We might be missing faces, but A and J certainly enjoyed monkeying around.

Meg's moment.

Exploring a treehouse.

Gnome Village in the forest -- we added a few touches of our own.

Lot's of finds along the forest trails -- evidence of both gnomes and fairies.

Me and my kiddos.

Jorja was super helpful with Iver on the trails.

Digging a hole, building a retaining wall, and checking to see if the water will make it in.
