This last month has been filled with adventures. However, there have been plenty of quiet days around the house even still. The boys have enjoyed time to play and be creative. The quiet days have been welcome especially after the excitement of Yellowstone. This last week in particular was a purposeful quiet. It was the week between Yellowstone and the start of school. We are preparing for a new season and recovering from a big adventure. It wasn’t a thrilling last week of summer, but it was a good way to wrap things up.
We did have one last adventure to say farewell to summer. Yesterday, we took the boys to the beach. Jeremy and I spent a day at the beach for our anniversary in July, but the kids were with Nana & Papa. I got to spend a weekend at the beach at the beginning of this month. It just didn’t seem right to let the boys have a summer without a trip to the beach. It was great to pack up the minivan for one last hurrah! We spent the morning playing in the ocean at Seaview, WA and then we spent the afternoon exploring Cape Disappointment State Park. We crossed over the bridge to Astoria, OR for dinner at Pig’N’Pancake. It was the perfect way to wrap up our summer vacation!

Summer workbook done!
I always look forward to Jeremy’s sunflowers opening.
A cousin play date before we left for Yellowstone!
Getting the playroom wall ready for fall. I had a lot of fun printing the apple number cards!
After our vacation, the boys have been thrilled to reunite with their toys! There has been so much creativity (and mess) around the house.
It’s not too soon for Halloween costumes, right? These boys are super into space, so we couldn’t pass up a chance for them to be astronauts at home!
Nothing like running in the ocean on a sunny Saturday morning!
This is Owen’s happy place. He could have stayed in the water all day!

Cape Disappointment Lighthouse. The trail to the lighthouse was closed, so that was disappointing.
