Birch Bay State Park

Mark and I having been looking forward to getting to spend more time at the ocean now that we live close to it again. Last Saturday we went to explore Birch Bay with Katie, Ted and Lizzy Heidersdorf. It was a ton of fun. It was a sunny and hot 85 degrees here in Bellingham. That is the hotest it has been since we have been here. Since it was so hot we decided to let the girls play in the ocean for the first time and boy did they love it. They had a hay day splashing in the water and playing in the mud. The dog had a wonderful time too! After exhausting ourselves out in the ocean we spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing in the sun on the warm sand. Hopefully this is just the begining of many Saturday afternoons by the ocean.
