Our "partly cloudy" Monday ended up more "sparsely cloudy". And the upper 60 degrees was ... perfect. Nice and warm when the sun was on your back, but still cool air we're breathing. And even though 67 degrees doesn't sound like much for an August day, it was ... perfect.
Can you tell I'm still wistful about our summer day gone right?
We walked onto the Mukilteo ferry with some Mukilteo friends. Whatever it is with kids and water, it's enough to keep them staring at it for ... well, WHOLE MINUTES.
We walked off on the other side to the little park next to the ferry terminal. When I say "little", I mean you can't even tell its there unless someone points it out. There are bathrooms and a mound of sand. The mound of sand is, for some reason, well stocked with toy vehicles. So with the additional buckets and shovels that we brought it afforded plenty of entertainment for 6- and 3-year-olds, while us moms chatted and watched the ferries come and go.
We then walked down the pathway to the public access beach - about 100 feet of beach between the apparently private beaches of the homes along the shore. It was just enough for us.
Ailey found a shell FULL of barnacles.
There was a little water-exploring before...
... they got more brave...
... and their pants all wet. Silje. (Need I say more?)
We opted for ice cream after coming back to Mukilteo - soft serve at Ivar's. And walked it to the Lighthouse to eat.
A warm, sunny day with the ferry in the background and three happy girls ... darn right I got some posed pictures!
