Like most holidays this past year, we were at the Cove for Easter. The weather was unexpectedly warm and absolutely beautiful. We didn't pack for a sunny 70-degree day, so Owen and Wes borrowed pink short shorts from Olivia and Lily, which none of the kids called any attention to. Wes colored his nipples with marker and Uncle Chris overpaid the kids to do yard work. Egg hunting, dying and matching jammies ensued.
Much to my delight, Rachel and Josh planned a long weekend at the coast and invited us to come along. Ty and I haven't really explored the Washington beaches and were excited to discover what a gem of a town Long Beach is.
The kids ran around outside and flew kites while the adults had cocktails and caught up. The weather was beyond perfect, nearly 80 degrees, which is a rare treat at the Washington coast. I took family photos for the Hights, Hazel and Brady hid under the bed long enough to give us a panic attack, we drove cars on the beach, raced Go-Karts, ate ice cream and soaked up the sun.
It was a lovely weekend that felt good for the soul.
