Welcome, Dear Weekend! Welcome!

It is Friday afternoon and there is an anticipation building up for all the fun that lies ahead. This summer it feels like the weekends have been so full of the most glorious of fun. Sometimes planned and sometime spontanious. We must drink up these summer weekends while we can for fall will soon be upon us.

I have been wanting to post some pictures for my adventure last weekend to tiny Hat Island but just recently had the time to upload my photos. A small group of us made the journey from the Everett marine on the MV Holiday to join a most gracious and generous couple from our church at their island getaway. We walked the shrinking beach as the tide came in and enjoyed the scenery. We enjoyed conversation as we basked in the sun overlooking the Sound. We watched the Mukilteo/Clinton ferries pass each other like clockwork and would marvel at the sight when the two ferries momentarily became one ferry.

Me & Heidi (I decided to wear my hat in honor of our trip to Hat Island)

Mel & I carved our names in the sandy cliffs along the beach so others might know we were there.

A new friend I made on our walk back to the house.

The tide came in before we could make it back to the house so we had to do a little walking on water (the sandbar helped immensely).

And there was much to see on the boat ride to and from the island.

Now, cheers to another weekend filled with fun and adventures.
