Vashon Island

Monday, was a nice day here in Washington and so we went off to Vashon, Island.  We spent of our time at the Light House at Robinson Point and on the beach there.  We had a great time combing the ground for shells and other cool things we could find.

Matthew with his feet in the sand, he never even batted an eye.

There was drift wood all along the shore.  Some of it was really cool.  It was easy to find the pieces that had been there a long time compared to others that hadn't been on the shore as long.

There were a few crab shells on the beach.  This one was the biggest that I found.  The other ones were just little.  It was really neat to find them, I was so excited to show the shells to David but I think I enjoyed them more than he did.  David just wanted to dig.

These are jellyfish that washed up on shore some time ago and have dried out.  The rusty brown one is what is hanging from David's stick.  David wanted to bring the jellyfish home....I said no and made him leave it.  It was really cool to see how the jellyfish look when they were dead, sad that they were washed up but cool to see them without getting hurt.

This is the lighthouse on Pointe Robinson.

If you have read Red Ranger Came Calling by Berkley Breathed, here's the proof.  We saw the bike in the tree.  We also read the true story about the bike in the tree.  It's not very high up in the tree, if you look at the picture on the left you can see the top of David's head, he's right up at the tree.
