Westport 2012

We had a great time again in Wesport this year.  I actually think Wesport 2011 was one of my first blogs ever so I think its pretty much my blogging anniversary!  We went with Tim's parents again but this time Tim was able to have the time off work to come.  The weather was even nice for part of the time.  Most of what we do there you can do in the rain anyway so it didn't matter too much.  We even swam in the inground pool/hot tub in the rain.

My boys can always spend hours exploring on the beach.


The condo where we stay has a roof with a patio where we ate dinner one night.  Georgous views.  The Olympic Mountains in the distance didn't quite make the picture.


On the oceanside trail...


Putting in his pajamas...


Ezra could only do putting for so long.  After a while he entertained himself by blocking the holes and making it more challenging for us to sink it.



The beach has great cliffs for jumping.  Ezra was big enough this year to participate!


Throwing sticks in the ocean and watching how long it took for them to come back to us...


Christian also had the incident with the door on our last night in Wesport.  The front door of the condo is pretty serious.  Quite heavy.  Christian was going to try to find Ezra who was playing hide and seek and had gone to hide in the elevator.  Somehow Christian had his hand in the door and it slammed shut.  It was pretty obvious right away that we needed to go the E.R. so off we went.  Grammy stayed back with the other 2 boys.  Christian was very brave.  He fell asleep in the car on the way to the hospital which was a good thing because he was able to be a little rested to endure the procedures that happened to him.  He had x-rays which determined that he did fracture the tip of his finger.  He also (sorry this is gross) dislodged his fingernail and it had to be stiched back on.  Needless to say I didn't watch.  We made it home by 12:30 am so we were a bit tired the next morning but it certainly could have been much worse.  I was really thankful that I wasn't home alone with the boys when it happened.

Firsts and Lasts

Actually, I should call this "Lasts and Firsts"


Last day of kindergarten...

First broken bone... 

He actually only broke the tip of his middle finger and there will be no splint or cast.  He did have to have his fingernail sewn on at the E.R.  We were out of town of course, in Westport.  More details to follow...

Little Boy Treasure


We caught a whole mess of tadpoles.  Some are frogs and some are salamanders.  We are doing our best to take good care of them and feed them in hopes of watching the transformation!  Tim's parents have this wonderful nature pond in their neighborhood where we caught them all.  We plan to let them go there again when they have grown.  Some of the salamander tadpoles we caught already have 4 legs.  Pretty awesome nature lesson!
