Fisherman Bay and Spencer Spit

Jen and Willow on the beach near Fisherman Bay

Willow gets big ideas

The big ideas will wait while they sit

Look at the scenery!

“Willow, why won’t you wear a hat?!”

“Because I don’t want to!”

Hmm... I can pick up rocks. I’ll bet they’re fun to throw too.

Moored off Spencer Spit (Lopez Island)

This is how we walk on land

This is how we get to land

Not easy walking on rocks, is it?

A few clouds moving in

This is a long walk

Iguazita worries about rising tide

Willow learns to skip

Put one foot in front of the other

I’m free! Now, I can start throwing rocks

and bask in the sun

and pick up more rocks

now I have a collection of rocks

hmmm (thinking)

How can these be of use?

Well, let me pick up more rocks while I decide

Aha, I can throw 3 rocks at a time!

4 rocks at a time!

Now, I have no rocks

Except this one

this is a very important rock

I will bonk Daddy on the head with this rock

He smiles, nonetheless

I will run into the tall grass to hide

hard to hide when you’re wearing all pink

but this grass is pretty thick

Can you see me now?

Where did the tall grass go?

Well, if you can see me, I will smile!

I bet our boat is enjoying the view too

Willow sees her first ladybug

Dad makes sure Willow is on track

Don’t eat the ladybug

What else is down there?

Daddy tips his hat to the ladybug

Where’s Mommy--oh, still taking pictures (sigh)

Daddy explains the geology of Spencer Spit

Not just for looking at

Driftwood is the best

A little tough on the soles, though

Maybe it’s best as furniture

This isn’t as comfortable as I thought it would be

Such interesting shapes and textures

I wonder how much of this will fit in the dinghy

This piece looks like a rock

Mommy, I see you’re still documenting my exploration

Can I get a little time to myself?

This is much more comfortable than sitting on the log myself

Faster, Daddy, faster

Orcas + a baby Orca! (where?)

Lucky kayakers (Camera battery dies now and Orcas surface.)
