More scenes from our trip

The Ernst Family on Vacation!

A flock of seabirds: seagulls, pelicans and others.


Dan shows the kids all the different mountains he has
climbed in the Cascade Mountain Range.

Natalie watching the ocean.

Natalie with a bouquet of wild flowers she picked in the sea grass.



"Why did Dan climb to the top of the observation tower?"
... Because it was there!
Zander played underneath while Dan scaled up to the top..


Here we saw the skeleton of a whale. The kids thought it was pretty cool.

So thirsty after walking along the boardwalk, Natalie and Dan share the drinking fountain as Hayden tries to figure out how he can get in on the action.

Welcome Back! :-)
Glad that you and your sweet family had a great time! Great pics of everybody!
I love the Beach too and hope to get my toes in the sand soon myself!
Looks like you guys had pretty good weather.
I have only been to Long Beach once or twice and we really didn't spend that much time there. Looks like there's a lot to do though.

I was thinking about you guys yesterday. How have you been? It's great to hear from you. Just an FYI, if you are looking for another VBS, Zander's preschool is doing one at the end of July. The kids went last year and loved it. All last year they kept asking when they could go back. I'll let you know more if you are interested.
