Seaview Kalles Family Trip 2009 June 30, 2009

This past weekend Jeff, Ethan, and I went to Seaview Washington with Jeff’s sister Mandy’s family and Jeff’s brother Shane. We had a great time and enjoyed the fantastic weather all weekend. I could not believe that we lucked out with sun and blue sky the whole time we were there.

We left for the 4 hour drive on Friday morning and arrived at Seaview around 3 to check in to our hotel. Once the bags were out of the car we were headed to the beach. As soon as Ethan saw the ocean water and waves he made a b-line for the water. We figured that since the water is not as warm as Mexico he would soon realize this and not want to go near it again. We were totally wrong. He is just a water baby at heart and we could not get him out of the waves even though he was shivering he was just loving it. After our beach venture we headed back and met up with the rest of the fam for dinner and then we had a fire and cooked some smores.

   

On Saturday we woke up and headed in to town for breakfast and then headed back down to the beach. This time Ethan played a little in the sand and ended up trying to swim in some tide pools. Luckily the water was warm in the tide pools so he was able to stay in a little longer without us having to drag him out kicking and screaming. After the beach we headed into town for some lunch followed by a trip to the amusement rides and arcade since these are necessities for beach towns. Ethan loved the rides and especially liked bowling in the arcade. I think that we will have to take him to a real bowling alley in the near future since he seemed to be pretty good at it.

On Sunday we woke up and went to the beach and the arcade one more time before the long trek home but it was fun had by all. I think this will definitley be a Kalles summer tradition but next time we are thinking possibly renting a house instead and maybe changing locations up a little. I guess you’ll have to wait until next summer to find out where we go next.
