kite flying at sunset

I took these pictures a few weeks ago at Crescent Beach & RV Park in Washington (read about in my previous post). While the rest of my family were setting up our tent, I noticed that someone was flying a kite over by the beach. The sun was setting, and I thought the silhouette of the of the kite looked neat against the cloudy sky. We had recently got a new camera with a nice zoom, so I was eager to try it out. I grabbed the camera out of our van and snapped these pictures.

** I am posting this post a few months after I originally started writing it. I noticed I never posted it and decided to finish it up. I also decided to post it at the date that I started writing it at.

Crescent Beach


We went camping a few weeks ago, and we stayed at Crescent Beach & RV Park in Washington. It was one of my first times camping, and I found it to be lots of fun! The beach was across the road, and we could hear the waves really well from our campsite; it's a very peaceful sound to fall asleep to. 

I took this picture when my mom, my siblings, and I went down to the beach to watch the sunset. It was beautiful! I hope to post more pictures — both of the beach and some other places we went to during our vacation — soon. =)

clouds & camera


We went to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park last Friday. It was so pretty! I'll try posting some more pictures I took there soon. The reflection in this picture was in one of the windows of our van, and was taken right after we got there. :)

Knitting!

I have discovered that I love knitting! :D My mom gave me a Klutz™ Knitting Kit for my birthday in Dec... and I have been knitting things ever since! I think the hardest thing  for me to learn was actually casting on. After learning that, and making a few "practice" pieces, I made a little pocket purse. =D Now I've made a cover for my Bible, some fingerless gloves/mitts, a scarf for my sisters doll, a dishcloth for my mom... Okay, you get the picture. :)
