Summer and Salt Water

It's 10pm in Ellensburg and still 80 degrees (and about 90 in my poor-ventilated apartment!). The smell of summer is usually delicious here, a mixture of hay fields and warmth. And the occasional cow pasture, but I digress... While I'm not complaining about the nice weather at all, I am longing for fall and all my favorite things that come with it. Pumpkin spice... stews... pumpkins... *snap out of it*!!

I haven't blogged in a while because I've just been enjoying my summer. I've been spending time with my Grandma and Grandpa B, doing a little gardening and lots of cooking. I have also been helping Grandpa E deep clean his house, I'm positive some of those dust bunnies were older than I am!

I was home for a few weeks, so Adam came to visit me! We watched a lot of movies and went to the beach!

At the Jetty in Ocean Shores

The sky was bright blue and the beach was beautiful! The sand was hot enough to burn your toes, a rare phenomenon around here. Adam "tolerated" all my picture taking... (click on photos to view them larger)

Well, he was being a good sport... 

TONS of horses on the beach. They stunk. We really don't like horses. 

And kids flying kites! So fun. 

Before heading home we picked up a bag of saltwater taffy, because you can't go to the beach without getting taffy! I thought a margarita flavored taffy would be yummy (limey, a little salty) but it was just pure salt- YUCK. We even stopped at the casino on the way home because I had never been to one. I played penny slots and doubled my money- put in $1 and won $2!! Whooo... that will probably be the end of my gambling.  

My goal is to keep the posts more regular than they have been. We'll see how that turns out! :)
