Blog Letters: Beach Vacation - Day Five - "Bike Rides And More Pizza"

I awoke to the cabin coming to life. Sunshine through the windows, voices from the kitchen, coffee brewing, and creaking of floor boards. I rolled over giving one last thought to staying in bed and them decided to get up and find coffee. After retrieving my beverage I sat down at the table and visited with my Uncle while Dad cooked up pancakes and sausage. We all ate the delicious breakfast and got ready to go for a bike ride.
With air in all the tires, day packs ready and water bottles filled the six of us (and Roman) took off for the discovery trail that you can enter at the Seaview approach. It was a lovely day for a ride and the it was a nice trail that went through the dunes and was an easy ride so you could just enjoy the views.

When we returned from the ride we decided to head down to Wakikki beach area for pizza there is a really cool pizza guy in the store by the campground he has a great personality and is super friendly and kind. It gives your more of the feel of eating at someones house instead of at a restaurant, plus his pizza is really tasty and it has fun outdoor seating.

The pizza

To work off our pizza we went from the pizza place down to the ports in Ilwaco to look at the boats. It was such an exciting atmosphere as the fisherman were coming in from a hard days work and the farmer's market was shutting down for the day. It seemed like you were walking through another world. One of my favorite things I did when I walked through the port and look to see where all the different boats where from and guess what kind of adventures they where having.

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons. I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can. My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

Meet Riley!

Hey, so you remember all those posts I did in July? Yeah, me either....I am sorry guys. Summer has been great! Full of adventures and fun. We had our VBS, celebrated the 4th, I had my college orientation (a hopeful future post), we went camping, and enjoyed many days outside in the sunshine. Along with all these fun summer activities, there has been an addition to our family. Everyone, meet Riley! A fun-loving, three-year-old, German Sheppard. She came to us through Spokanimal, but she is originally from LA. There, she was found on the streets and had just had puppies. We don't know what happened to the puppies but are thrilled to have her in our family. Riley loves grass absolutely loves it. She rolls around in it all the time and wants to be outside as much as she can. So far, she has loved everyone she has ever been around. The first day we got her we had our VBS team and a couple guys came over and she loved them. Last week we had twenty band kids over for a c...

New Roads

Another adventure I have been up to is driving, I started driver's ed about 3 weeks ago and what and adventure it has been. Between navigating the DMV for my permit, learning to deal with teachers and classmates that are different from what I am used too. Not to mention the actual driving, hehee that has been entertaining. One of my first times out, there was an incident involving a Zip's parking lot, a turn lane and a learning what a drive thru lane is. Moral of story I now know what a turn lane is, everyone lived and I am sure that the guy in the drive thru wasn't in shock for long, whoops! Last night's adventure involved a car trying to cut me off, driving in too close at the gas station, a imaginary person in the road and hitting a porcupine. (Which I actually cried over) What I am learning is that I am never going to be instantly perfect at something I am going to mess up. The important thing to remember is I have amazing parents here to help me learn, a class ...
