Guess who learned how to ride a bike on vacation?

The big six!

We celebrated Thea's sixth birthday while we were on vacation. It was a lovely day with dinner, cake, gifts and a swim in the pool. Happy birthday my love! I thank God for you!

Low tides = great treasures

They had the lowest tide of the year while we were on the island. Walks on the beach are always wonderful, however, when the tide is low it's awesome. Lot's of beautiful things to explore, more land to cover.






































































I love how the beach makes people quiet and thoughtful. To be sure the girls ran and played, but they were mostly quiet and a bit contemplative while on the beach. I would often find the girls digging, doodling, picking things up and examining, collecting treasures.

I sure would love to incorporate a little beach life into our homeschooling. :)

"O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches."

There and back

Our time on the road.

We're home

We're home now. I can't believe our time in the N.W. has come and gone. We had a beautiful visit with friends and family. Our time there just gets richer every year.

I'll leave you with this beautiful picture of Montana and a promise to post more pics this week.
