had to visit the old free museum since we were so close

We had a great time in Ilwaco staying at Bryan and Laurel's family's beach house.  Adam (and those pictured above) went on a salmon fishing charter on Saturday (beginning at 5am) and brought home lots of delicious salmon.  Adam's catch was the biggest on the boat for the day and also the first catch of the day. 
We had a huge seafood feast on Saturday night.  Ezra and I explored the local bike trail and I had a great time hanging out with baby Rosemary.  Fun weekend!

LOVING these long days!  I took a nice walk in our backyard on the 20th (day before the longest day of the year).  We are having so much fun blazing trails in our backyard and have finally completed a loop!  It is so great to be able to go for a little walk in the woods right in our backyard. 
Poor Ezra was spayed on Friday and was so sad and hurting when she came home Friday night.  She seemed completely back to normal by Saturday and now we have to try to keep her from running and jumping for 2 weeks (nearly impossible)!
