Ferry ride field trip

Last Friday the sun was shining and I bravely took both the kids by myself on a ferry ride field trip with Norah's preschool class. It went well, but I had some reservations. I was envisioning having to dive overboard to rescue Nolan. Casey and I even joked the night before that we should get him one of those leash things for kids(something we have always said we would never own). Anyways, he was well behaved and they didn't let us on the deck of the ferry while we were sailing so we avoided disaster ;) After the ferry ride we went to Owen beach at Pt. Defiance, had a yummy picnic lunch, soaked up some rays and played in the water a bit. It was the perfect day for a spring trip to the beach!
Here are the kids patiently awaiting they ferry's arrival

love this picture!

At the end of the trip it was time to do a little wading. She actually ended up soaked to her waist, but she loved it and didn't care one bit that she had to ride home without panties or pants! Good thing I had an extra blanket in the car.
