At the end of August our family was able to enjoy a 4 night stay out west on Puget Sound in Washington. It is always great to be able to get out there once a year and bum around on the beach, see family and relax. Mario's parents were able to join us this year, so that was an extra special bonus!
Here is the whole crew!
The beach with the fog lifting!
Traci and Nellie
What a devil face...kinda sums it up :)
Sharing with Uncle Tim (as he would like to be called..haha)
It was "humpie" season while we were there. Literally hundreds of salmon jumping out of the water in front of the house while we watched. You would think we that many it would be fairly easy to catch some. It ended up being our quest while we were there. I believe between everyone we caught 3 or 4 total :) Here is Mario proudly displaying his first catch.
kiss kiss...
And Corky with hers!!!
Mario and Jer!
Going out to drop the crab pot!
quite the haul..
Time to get crackin'
And a stop at Pike's Place Market..
Fresh Squid... I believe this is year 3 that we have purchased fresh squid to take home and make our own breaded Calamari. YUM!
Traci and Nellie on the lucky pig.. We were rubbing the Buddha belly saying "Girl, Girl".. but I don't even think the lucky pig can break the Morelli boy streak!!
Mike and Gina
Squid face!! The process of cleaning and cutting our own Calamari is disgusting (no other way to put it), but I believe we paid around $6 for 6lbs of squid. It is worth the pain!
Corky fishing for those humpies!!
Nellie after the great humpie!
Nico running the beach..
Turning over rocks to find little crabs..
Ish.. a big jelly fish that had come up with the tide!
Beautiful sunsets!

Ahhh, the good life!!
Are you sure that's squid in the first "squid face" pic? Sure looks like a tampon to me! Is this another attempt at wishing for a baby girl, or what?
