We decided we needed to branch out a bit in our activities and take advantage of some of the hikes here on the island. We decided to try the light house hike. We didn't see any, but a lot of times you can see whales on it this time of year. We had a lot of fun. It was so good to spend time as a family. Here is Deven, Dylan, and Gracie resting in the shade after we made it to the top. 
A view of the lighthouse. It was such a beautiful day. 
Dylan and I at the top over looking Bellows beach. 
The view around the island from the top. This reminds me of just how small the island really is, when you can see so far around it. But on the flip side of that it also reminds me of how beautiful it is. 
Deven, Gracie and I taking a rest on the way up. Dylan is asleep in the stroller. 
We decided to go have dinner at the beach one night. It was really fun. We let the kids play in the sand and watched the sunset. I love the sunsets here. 
Dylan loves to play in the sand. When we go to the beach we give him a shovel and he is entertained for hours. I am not kidding. He loves to touch the sand with his hands and feet. His favorite thing to do is to dig holes. He will just sit and dig away. Gracie wanted in on the fun so she came over to help him. 
He is just so proud of himself. He is getting so big and changing so fast. He has started to move around on his butt. He can't crawl but he can move across the floor by twisting back and forth. He is so proud of himself. The other night Gracie and I were cooking dinner and I walked around the corner to check on him. He just started to laugh. He had scooted himself clear across the floor and had everything pulled out of my diaper bag. Lisa and Matt are coming to visit in March. I can hardly wait. They officially booked their plane tickets so it is a done deal. I am so excited to have them come. We are searching out fun and exciting places to take them. I am so ready for some visitors!!!!!
