Shaw Island - 7.29.06

We went "on a boat" (Collin's favorite new phrase) Saturday morning and spent the day frolicking on the sandy shores of Shaw Island in Indian Cove. Everyone had a blast! Some of the highlights:

• Owen had his first ferry ride! (pic 1 +2) (second ferry ride: pic 5)
  
• Collin and Marley took full advantage of the beach ~ shoveling, raking, skipping, shell searching, and tumbling. They even made their own fort and attempted to take an afternoon nap in/on it! (pic 3) (Must have been a good time because yesterday I asked Collin what he wanted to do for the afternoon, and he said, "Shovel sand on a beach Mar-Mar!")
• Uncle Jared introduced Collin to the riptide! I joined in, and we swung Collin through the strong waters! (pic 4)
  
• Custodian Collin put his love of brooms (and his social security number!) to good use when he and Marley got hired as Deckhands aboard the Yakima (ferry). (pic 6 + 7) (*In pic 7 Collin had doned Marley's pink jacket and the emergency fire hat!)
• Kevin and I cruised over to Friday Harbor to pick up some of our favorite local ale with Bob and Paxton!
