The Gray-t Life: Gig Harbor

The last weekend in July, when my sister was here from Dallas, the family rented a beach house in Gig Harbor (It was on the opposite side over where you can see the Purdy bridge). We had so much fun. The weather was absolutely perfect- sunny the entire time. Emily had so much fun too. She never stopped moving the entire weekend.

We spent quite a bit of time outside. Emily loved to play in the water, and that first day she would not get out of the water and wanted to go in farther and sit in the water. The next couple of times she would go in the water for a little bit, but then she just wanted to have her daddy hold her the entire time. We spent a lot of time out on the deck enjoying the view, and one time we saw a bald eagle fly past. It was so crazy and cool. They are such huge birds! We couldn't pass up an opportunity to go to a park to play on the toys. This particular park was so nice. The floor was a big squishy mat, and the toys were so nice. Emily had so much fun running around with her dad in tow.

One afternoon we headed over to Downtown Gig Harbor. We played on a beach that had a view of the Narrows. Emily and I even tried to build a sandcastle. After the beach we went and had Emily's first ice cream cone ever! She loved it so much and practically ate half of Nathan's cone.

The water was really warm. Emily wanted to sit right down in it, and she thought it was the funniest thing ever when Nathan would throw rocks into the water and they would splash.

Auntie Anja gave Emily the cutest little doll, and Emily took off kissing it.

Emily ran around the deck with the house keys. She stayed so entertained trying to put the keys in these little holes that were in the window frame. She ran from window to window with the keys. (You can see a little bit of our view in the background)
