Yukon's Day and Easter

We finally made it to the coast to let go of Yukon's ashes.  We went to Long Beach, WA because you can drive on the beach.  It was a cloudy day and when we got to the coast (after 4 hours of driving) we saw an eagle on the beach eating.  Sharon was able to get some good pictures of it.  We all put on our wind/rain breakers and headed out, the winds were about 40 mph and really cold..  Cooper loved it, he as chasing birds all over the place.  Riley was following him around.  When it was time to let go of Yukon, I directed the ashes toward the wind but I ended up turning around so I had Yukon all over me.  Pretty sure he ended up in my hair, in my mouth, on my jeans and out to sea.  That's the way he would want it anyway.  Cooper said bye bye to "go go", Riley sniffed the ashes. 




For Easter we had Holly, Susan and Kerry over.  We did an egg hunt with Holly and then had dinner.  It was a terrific day, Cooper had a little too much chocolate (which he can say and ask for).

Cooper's Play Area

Sharon and I finished the play area for Cooper this weekend.  Sharon built the wall to make the area level and I put down weed blocker and filled it in with cedar chips.  Cooper also helped by getting pulled in the wagon, crying when Sharon used the chainsaw, destroying the weed blocker after I laid it down, shoveling cedar chips and throwing them outside of the barrier.  Actually, Cooper was a big helper, he loved to help me get more cedar chips by saying "more more" after I dumped the wagon.  He also played with his Riley while we worked.  He loved to watch Sharon use the drill and hammer.  Once we put up the play structures Cooper said "bee" and wouldn't play on them. 

He loves being outside in the backyard, he asks to go "out" everyday, all day.  He is getting very comfortable out there, he brings his trucks out and pushes them all over the place.  I sprayed off the play structure today and told him there are no more bees. 

Here are some photos:
