A Saturday Family Walk

Last weekend Allison, Madison, Emma, and I drove to Fairhaven and parked our new Green Bug and walked from Fairhaven to Boulevard Park via the boardwalk over the edge of the bay. We started on a gravel path that had apartments on one side and blackberry bushes on the other.
Once the gravel path ends, we found this old barn with a view of the bay in the background. This is where we had lots of our family pictures taken this past fall.
Just a short distant from the barn we found the start of the boardwalk heading down to the water starting high above on the shore.
Heading down the boardwalk, we found many seats, one of which was occupied by Emma Mae.
Here is just one of many great views from the boardwalk looking at the beach where the train travels from Vancouver to Seattle.
There are several different beaches that you can see from the boardwalk, and some of the beaches have large rock with sad faces scratched onto their surface.
Once we made it to Boulevard Park, we got a coffee or a treat from Woods Coffee and then off to the playground. It's a big pirate ship with a ladder, a slide, and lots of room to run.
And from the top of the pirate ship, you have a fabulous view of the bay and all the islands.
After the park, we walked back to Fairhaven where the kids hung out with Dirty Dan and ran around the on the grass.
After the girls ran around the Village Green, we went in to Village Books where we had tons of fun looking through books. It was a fun day hanging with the family down by the bay.
