This is where my story begins: Birch Bay

My parents are getting ready to go and travel the USA in there monster of a motorcoach (as soon as they can get there house rented) While they are waiting to go they bought a membership to a resort company that they will be able to stay at all over the country. One of the locations is in Birch Bay (an hour north of my house) and because I am family I get to have a free pass to the place that I can use up to 5 times a year. Works for me! So we decided to take advantage of the opportunity and head up there for a few days. We rented a trailer and took the boys "camping"

Todd wanted me to play tether ball with him but once I remembered that you have to avoid the ball hitting you in face....I passed.

Fortunately the tide was waaaaaay low while we where there. I couldn't believe how far it was out. We never actually made it to the water even after walking...and walking...and walking.

It was odd seeing all the boats just hanging out on the sand

Kaden whined and cried the whole time...it was annoying!

Typical Kyler finds some random guy to show him how to go clamming. That's what I love about him. He is not shy!

You don't see any pictures of Todd because the first night we were there he actually went back home so he could get up at the crackof dawn to go salmon fishing. So yes, I had to spend the night all by myself and we spent most of the next day waiting for him to return to us. I will forgive him this time....even though he didn't even catch any fish!

I hadn't seen a sand dollar in years

Mr Crabs may be big....but he is dead

Kaden kept crying over all the clams squirting us in the leg

We spent alot of time at the pool

My man preparing me some meat!

What I don't have a picture of is ME beating Todd at horseshoes. I think that surprised him :)

Must have marshmallows

Man builds fire for woman!
The last day was spent at the waterslide park
No we did not go on the speed slide. AKA...enema slide!

But we did go on the "black hole"

And what I don't have pictures of (again!) is at the end of the day... Kyler got stuck in this slide. When the people behind him came around the corner, he was hit hard and pushed forward. He flew out of the slide and on to the pavement. He was scrapped up and pretty bloody. Needless to say we where done for the day!
