We took the boat over to Jetty Island on Edison's birthday. It was the hottest day of the year and a perfect day for the beach. They all went early in the morning and scuba dove for Dungeness crabs - they got their limit and had a feast that night. Charlotte and I met them later in the morning. We set up our picnic area in a secluded spot on the north side of the island.
The views of the Cascade mountains were phenomenal on such a clear day. It was also an extraordinarily low tide - you can see in the picture that there is not much water left in the channel. An hour after this picture was taken, we were able to walk about two miles west into what is normally Puget Sound - it was completely surreal and totally fun.
Ahhhhh, so nice to have a shady spot to spend the afternoon with Charlotte.
Edison was really excited to open his birthday card and present.
We gave him a balance bike after hearing numerous positive recommendations. Basically it is a tiny bike with no pedals. Kids learn how to glide and turn pretty quickly (I've heard) and then it is an easy transition to a bike, skipping the training wheel phase. So, we'll see. But Edison does enjoy it so far!
We had a yummy lunch at Kidd Valley in Kirkland with Granddada. Edison was happily surprised by his birthday card and present from Grandada - a hardhat with a headlamp!
