Is it warm yet?

So it's spring up here in Washington, which means we're still waiting for it to get warm! We can't wait for all the local farms to open up and for all the farmers markets and festivals! In the meantime, we've been staying indoors quite a bit, but we make the most of it. Our neighbor was nice enough to take some professional photos of Kaitlyn and we just couldn't wait to share them =) Isn't she a cutie pie!!!

Mussel Festival

We went to Coupeville for their annual Mussel Festival. It was a very cold and windy day, so we didn't stay too long, but we had fun while we were there. Madison made a necklace out of Mussel shells and we ate a big bowl of steamed mussels. There were mussel cooking demonstrations and mussel chowder tasting, and tours of the underwater Penn Cove mussel farm too! After we had our fill of mussels, we strolled in and out of the quaint little shops on Main street, then headed back home to get warm!

Hiking at Fort Casey

Last weekend we decided to get out of the house and take advantage of the beautiful weather by going to Fort Casey. We went on a few easy hikes and saw several deer up close. They were amazingly tame! Madison started running right up to one, but luckily Jason was able to stop her before she got too close =) Kaitlyn slept the whole time, of course. She loves being put in the front carrier.
