Memorial Weekend at the Beach

 This weekend we were busy.  On Saturday we went to a big neighborhood garage sale with my mom and Mark's mom.  Sunday we rested and yesterday morning since Mark had the day off we went to the beach.  Lulu and Levi LOVE rocks.  We brought our buckets to collect some new fun rocks to bring home along with some shells.
 The body of water that this beach is on is Puget Sound.  Mark and Levi are watching the ferry boats cross the sound over to Whidby Island from Mukilteo where we were. 
 Here Mark is pointing out a train that was off in the distance heading our way. 
 So off we went to go watch the train come by.  The tracks are right along the beach so our walk wasn't very far.
 While we were waiting for the big freight train, we were startled by the Amtrak heading in the opposite direction.  Lulu and Levi were so excited to see the trains so close.
 Finally moments later the "Big Train" as Levi called it came roaring by us.
 After watching the trains we went back to our blanket and ate lunch.
 This was Ila's first time to the beach.  She slept in the front carrier the entire time. 
This little guy was so excited to see a real train.  We also saw some small crabs and sea anemones under some rocks.  So fun!  We love where we live.
