Discovery Bay vacation Day 2 & 3

Day 2 of our vacation was on a Sunday so we got up and went to church. We then spent the rest of the day waiting for Misty and her family plus April and her girls to join us for a few days. Yay! I love when any of our family can join us.  When I say we spent the rest of the day waiting for them to join us I really mean it. It took them 3 extra hours to get there because of an accident on the freeway caused the street to be blocked up. I felt soooo bad for them and I'm grateful they got there safely.
Day 3 we drove into Port Townsend and browsed some shops and then went to some Fort where their was a Marine center and beach. April and I took the kids to see the center. It was a highlight in the day for the kids, much better than shopping they thought.
Everyone was brave and touched some of the sea life under the water.
Clara, Jovie, Nathan and April watched Aria be the first brave one. Once we saw that she was perfectly fine everyone else joined in the fun.
The starfish Gabe is touching felt like a soft fluffy down pillow.
Nathan's starfish was more firm.
It's not like you really "had" to touch the sea creatures. You could just play in the water you know. That's the idea Clara had.
April. Ainsley and Larry enjoyed relaxing on the beach. I really liked this picture of these 3.
Larry, David and the kids decided to have a little sand sculpture contest.  Jovie was helping Papa.
Can you guess what it is?
This is David and his kids sand work. Guess?
I think they are both winners:)
After a long hot day their is nothing better than hitting the swimming pool.
We didn't stay up to late because we were making a trip to Forks the next day. So stay tuned to day 4...
