Camping!

Couple of weekends ago we went camping at Dash Point State Park. It's a great little park - quite close to the city but is still one of the nicer campgrounds around. Lots of privacy in the campsites, good facilities, and there's a big beach on the Puget Sound that's just perfect for playing or hanging out.
Which is what we did! We arrived at low tide, with a huge expanse of beach to explore. Peregrine had perhaps the time of his life running around naked as the tide rolled in, despite that it was not so hot out that day. E probably spent three hours in the dwindling beach, and he was pretty much running around the whole time.
It was also a nice campsite, plenty of space but well insulated from its neighbors. Lys and Billy brought their canoe, and Loren brought a pair of sea kayaks. Because of some logistical issues, Peregrine did not get to ride in the canoe...but he did get to ride in a kayak! Which he loved, despite the look of intense concentration on his face.
All told, it was just a very nice weekend.

It's too hot to say too much, but hopefully it will suffice to say that the Blue Angels fly right over our house. And I mean that quite literally. Peregrine is torn between elation and terror, as these things -are-planes, after all, but they're wicked loud.
