Summer Vacation

We had a great summer vacation. The headline of the newspaper over our vacation was "Number One Vacation Destination - You're Already Here" which was quite fitting because the was exactlywhat we decided to do, vacation at home.
We took a ride on the car ferry and headed towards the ocean. We got to visit the beach where a put our feet in the water and a crab tried to run off with Isabel's shoe in it's claw. Our brave daughter was actually the one to retrieve it.
We visited the Berry Farm which in name is deceiving, but should be called mini Disney World (without the lines). We took a train ride around the farm on a mini-steam train, rode tons of ride (including Josiah) and Ibby rode her first roller coaster. We ran through the hay maze and jumped in the hay jump. We never even made it to the berries because the park was so much fun.
We also hiked a two mile hike with the kids to an amazing waterfall. We were actually able to hike right to the falls.
We also celebrated Josiah's one-year birthday. He's such a great kid, and tone of fun, his newest trick...I found him eating out the garbage yesterday!
Here are a collection of pictures, from the ferry ride

We had to try every seat on the boat!
