Fort Casey

This past weekend we drove down to Everett and took the ferry over to Whidbey Island. It was one of our rare, non-rainy days. We went to an old military fort called Fort Casey. Atreyu loved playing "army" with the giant disappearing guns. There were different stairways and hallways. Some of them were a bit dark and kind of scary. It didn't help that Jesse kept teasing everyone by making zombie sounds but that's what dads are for.

At the fort we were able to go down some stairs to this beach covered in driftwood. People had made a bunch of different little forts along the beach and the kids had fun finding and playing in them all.

We found this steep path back up to the top of the hill that the kids had to climb up (and then climb back down).

We then went over to the lighthouse at the fort. It was so darling! Since it's so late in the season, we weren't able to go inside but we enjoyed just being able to see it.

The kids then climbed trees for a bit and we were able to go down to the beach again and have a picnic before it got dark. Cambria is doing awesome writing her name, even in the sand.

Just another good day with my favorite people.
