Camping!

On our many adventures this summer, I'll start with the latest. You have to scroll down our whole page, 'cause I've done a massive blog update. Get ready for 2 months of pictures!! We went camping this last weekend with my parents. So after waiting in this massive ferry car line....
Taking a ferry ride...we went to...





Lake Crescent in the Olympic National Forest! This lake is so incredible. The water is super clear. My Dad informed us that the water is too cold for algea to grow, that's the reason for the clarity. It's a super deep lake! The camping here was great, and we will come back to this spot.






Isn't that blue amazing?


Brian got a great sunrise picture. Yeah, I don't "do" early.




Charlie took this picture of our tent...





So green!












On our camp site there was a giant tree stump, Charlie had a lot of fun climbing up and inside of it. It was like his own little fort!











Snuggle time in the morning. See how chipper I look?









Yes, he went swimming. We all did. It was brisk at first, but felt wonderful after about 30 seconds.







Got to have shadow puppets, right? Sorry for the lame picture of it though...
















Yes, we loved it here and look forward to more fun camping trips in the Olympics. I recommend it to anyone, but know this: All camping sites in the Olympic Nat'l forest are first come first serve. Luckily my parents got there nice and early and captured a spot just as someone was leaving it!

Brian, Look like you guys had fun on your vacation. There is a picture of a tree that looks like the Whomping Willow tree from Harry Potter (switching books from Twilight to HP) The pictures are awesome. I am glad Charlie is doing well. Ellen
