Walking At the Beach!

I LOVE living only a 5 minute drive away from this beach! Isn't it gorgeous? It's right on the Puget Sound!
There's a little grassy park adjacent to the beach, and at first all Kirsten wanted to do there was play with the car keys. This picture says it all without words: "Give me those keys!"

After I gave her the keys, she was willing to pose for a few pictures. . .



And then we went walking! This trip was actually from a few weeks ago, when she had first started getting brave enough to walk around the grass on her own. She was so cute, wobbling around the grass and trying not to fall!

Now there's a look of intense concentration!

And here are some pictures of the beach. It's a rocky beach, that's for sure, and a little more rugged than some of the more popular beaches around Seattle. But I think the water and the rocks are really beautiful, and you can't beat a 5 minute drive!

  2. She is so cute! It is nice to find such nice blogs in this blosgshere! My sis, Ann who has never posted on this sister blog!)lives on Mercer Island and we love to go out to the Puget sound when we visit. What a gorgeous area of the country to live in and to enjoy. It makes for the best kind of evenings out for cheap/and great entertainment. Your baby is so beautiful and I love all the sweet looks on her face. So adorable!

  7. What cute pictures!
    We did not live very far from the beach but Red never liked going there much. He didn't like the wind. By the time he was starting to get into it and enjoy it, we moved. :-(
