Pass the sunscreen, please.

After a fairly chilly, rainy week, we woke up on Saturday to a beautiful, sunny day.  We were able to shed some layers and even had to apply sunscreen for the first time this year.  While we would have loved to have been out on the water enjoying the weather, the boat that is now ours will not be trucked up here until mid-June.  So we decided to go to one of the many amazing state parks and do a little hiking and have a picnic.

On the way there, Matt had to take some work calls, and out of boredom, I took an arms-length picture of myself.

Here are some of the scenic views at the park.

We had some really yummy cookies with our picnic.

We saw a lot of bald eagles today.  They are so beautiful.  Here is one of them.

Ft. Ward is the name of the park we visited and it served as an Army fort in the late 1800's and early 1900's.  Here is a picture of one of the 4 batteries there that were put in place to protect the Bremerton Naval Shipyard from attack at that time.  The sign said that no shots were ever fired from the battery.

Baylee wanted to be in this week's blog, so here she is at the dog park that is not far from where we live.  She makes a lot of friends there and every now and again, she even runs around a bit.  Not today though.

We loved seeing the sun today and  have red faces to show for it.  We'll have to get a little better with the sunscreen.
