SISTER DAY AT WHIDBEY ISLAND

My pictures are not in the order I wanted but here they are anyway!

This is a block house situated in the cemetery above Prairie. The day began somewhat cloudy but the sun came out before long. It's always fun being with my sisters no matter what the weather. I thank God for them!

This was taken just below the cemetery. The valley below is just beautiful.
Native Americans lived here at one time. Can't you just imagine their dwellings? I can. This is very close to the beach.

This is the beach we walked on. The tide was out and we were finding pretty rocks, and interesting seaweeds among other things.

I saw two of these brightly colored little 'beach bugs.' They are sure fast. I had to chase this one a while before I could capture him with my camera.

I think this is a kelp root. It's interesting how it just attached to whatever was handy. This type of seaweed grows long shaped arms that my boys used to love playing with at the beach, sometimes snapping it like a whip a little too close to mom's hiney while she was bent over searching for agates. There was a load of driftwood here. It is illegal to remove it, but I did see a few pieces that would look nice in my yard.

Isn't this one nice? I love how the seaweed has tangled itself around. It's like a string of the oceans pearls come to rest.
My sisters are so clever!! Barb is holding a small piece of driftwood that Bonnie found. She placed a bit of seaweed on top and it looks like a strange sea person of some sort.
This succulent type plant was growing wild above the beach. The flowers were not fragrant but I think they are very pretty.
I took this picture on the way back. I think this is a gorgeous place. I'd like to live there if I had someone to do all the cleaning and yard work.

I love the daisy field too!

We stopped for lunch at this quaint little place called the Shrimp Shack. I had clam strips and prawns, deep fried of course, and french fries too. This is a diet buster if ever there was, but oh so worth it!!!!!!!!!!

I was surprised to see on the menu that they also serve alligator and Maryland blue crab sandwiches as well as Elk burgers.

Here is the Shrimp Shack. All the white stuff isn't snow. It is oyster shell and it sure made a glare with the sun shining on it.

I gleaned these last two pictures from the net, and I didn't take any pictures of our food. When I smelled it I didn't want to take the time.

YUM!!!!
