Birch Bay

We took a rather impromptu trip to Birch Bay and Bellingham this weekend.  We invited one of Kayden's friends to go with us, and thankfully he was able to go.

We left Saturday morning and returned today.  Our first stop was at a Family Fun Center which had a small arcade, put put golf and go karts.

Then we grabbed lunch and then hit the beach at Birch Bay.  The boys found a lot of dead sea creatures and had a good time playing in the water.  It is one of the few beaches around here where the shallow water is somewhat warm.

The air was so grey and smoky from the Canadian wildfires, and occasionally you could catch a whiff of smoke, but overall it didn't hinder our trip too much.

We played until the tide was nearly at our feet and we couldn't scoot much more.  Then we headed to the hotel in Bellingham and ended up at the pool to finish the day off.

Got up this morning and headed to Everett and visited the "Flying Heritage and Combat Museum". The boys had a great time looking at all the war planes and tanks, as did Kyle and I.

It was a great weekend, it was some much needed family time.
