last saturday

last saturday we met tyler's mom & her boyfriend, his brother & nephew in mukilteo and took the ferry across the water to whidbey island. it was a last minute trip and turned out to be a really fun & pleasant outing.

we had fun watching bjorn play on the ferry seats and laughed as we tried to get Riley to actually pose for the camera! stubborn girl!

we drove to our destination, the town of langley, and found a restaurant facing the water that served some good ole' fashion fish n' chips. it was quite entertaining eating w/a toddler and infant...as cups, silverware, chairs & food were everywhere and we even had to take shifts, one person bouncing/entertaining the baby while the other quickly ate.
after dinner we wandered down the main street and peeked in a cute shop (hence melinda's new "scatter joy" sign for her house!) while the boys played on the beach. we worked our way up and down both sides of the street, and even managed to pose for a photo of Melinda w/her boys and grand kids.
we loaded back in the car and made our way back to the ferry dock for the ride home. everyone was tired and a bit fussy, but we did manage to snap a picture of bjorn giving his cousin a nice hug! what a sweet boy he is!

after some much needed ice cream from ivar's at the ferry dock, we said our farewells and loaded back in our car and headed north to bellingham. riley fell fast asleep and tyler and i enjoyed a quiet & peaceful ride home. i was able to capture the sky as the sun was setting across the skagit flats. because we didn't want to stop, i quickly snapped away through the car window. what a beautiful ending to a great day!
