The Coastal Trail

Charity the bike queen

the rest of the crew

the port on Chester Creek

This is looking at Earthquake park. You probably have to zoom in to see the airport, but you can see the planes there. That's the spot that we always drive to- to watch the planes take off.

This is looking at a big barge that was taking off- you will have to zoom in on this one too- kind of a crappy picture. But it was really neat to see the boats.

We took the girls' bikes and the stroller down to the coastal trail, starting at 5th avenue downtown, and went down to Chester Creek. It was a pretty nice walk. The trail goes right along the coast (obviously), so we got to see ships and barges taking off from the port. And you can look across the water and see Earthquake Park and the airport with the planes taking off. It was low tide again (or maybe this spot is just like this) but the water was way out there. The kids had a good time. Once we got to Chester Creek Kelly started getting tired, and let Bradley ride her bike. He took off like a riding fool, and we had trouble keeping up with him. Especially down the little hills. It was funny to see him take off and do so well, I guess he just needed more room to ride- he's never done that well on the driveway. He still needs to learn the brakes though. That's why the hills were so scary. Luke was the official greeter- waving to everyone that went by, it was so cute! He's gonna make a great missionary someday :). Charity did really great riding her bike the whole way there and the whole way back- pretty fun. Just a nice little Saturday afternoon activity.
