All that Heaven allows

Waiting at Vanessa and Ben's wedding.

Cookie Time!

What's sweeter than a new lensbaby with a wide-angle converter? A lemon cream cookie, of course.

Marcus on First Beach

Both boys got a kick out of watching me skip stones on the ocean. Marcus turned out to be quite a gatherer. He'd gather all kinds of little sticks, sea weed, and shells. These are some of his rocks. I think he's afraid that I'll take them away... maybe throw them in the ocean.

Ian on First Beach

You wouldn't know it by this photo, but Ian has an obsessive repulsion to dirt and sand. At times he would cry, "Aaah! Diiiirrrty!" while swatting at the sand on his hands or feet. Thankfully, by the end of the trip he had somewhat overcome this fear and was able to enjoy the beach a bit more.

Making Wishes

As always, we had to make a trip to Port Angeles and the many bookstores in town. Just next to Port Book & News is this little fountain that the boys enjoyed. There are also several cool murals painted on the sides of many of the older buildings downtown.

Ready... Set...

Air!, originally uploaded by mothslayer.

This will be the first of a deluge of photos taken on our recent trip to La Push and the Olympic Penninsula - which was fantastic. The weather was very nice - cool, but not too cool - although it didn't rain while we were there... In fact, the only time I had to use my jacket was on the ride up when we stopped at Multnomah Falls, which was doing the proverbial throw-down.

This photo of Marcus sums up what they thought of the experience. Needless to say, there were two tired little boys at the end of each day.

Go!

**Edit**

I've entered this in a photo contest sponsored by Nikon. If you care, you can vote for it here, I believe...

Cheers.
