Sunset

Nine o'clock last night we scrambled down to the beach to catch the sunset on the water.  Our beach house is a half a mile away so it is always a gamble to know whether or not the clouds are going to be in the way or not, but we took the risk anyway.

 I think we missed it, but there was still some nice color in the sky.  The Coast Guard was out though and so was a Black Hawk helicopter searching the waters (I haven't watched the news yet, but I wonder if someone was lost at sea.) 

Todd decided to use the time to take some family pictures. 

So, of course, the kids put on their best faces....

 Even Todd and I gave our best poise... lol

OF course, we didn't need to get one of Bryce because he always puts on his best face. lol

The whale is still here.  Evidently, KING 5 news was here earlier filming the whale.  Marine biologists believe it was killed by running into a ship, literally.  It has been dead for a few weeks before washing up on shore.  BTW, it still stinks.

A walking on the beach, skipping broken sand dollars, and celebrating our family was a wonderful way to end the day.

Happy 20th Anniversary to my wonderful husband.  Love you Todd!
