I know some time has passed since my last blog. In short, I have been to Arizona and back, over a million bridges, through 3 airports, and spent 5 weeks teaching summer school. I am back to being a mom (and a photographer) and have over 500 photos to edit. I have been hiding from my memory cards but they finally grabbed hold of me. Without delay, here are some photos of our most recent adventure to Olympic National Park.
Let me say, first, that the pictures don't do it justice. It was insanely beautiful and given the smokey conditions (from a nearby wildfire) and my dirty lens, I wasn't able to capture the full glory but I think I made a good attempt. The kids had a blast getting dirty and very much enjoyed the whole eating outside thing. We rented a minivan for the occasion and I just about cried when I had to return it. I LOVED that van!!! We stayed in a cabin at Dosewallips State Park and are so excited to return some day. We were nestled between a river and a beach and woke up to an elk herd nearby. Emma (the dog) certainly had her fun chasing sticks and balls and the boys just about died of laughter when she discovered the river.
It was our first family vacation in far too long and it will not be forgotten. After a few bridges, an hour drive, and ferry ride later, we arrived home just in time to dive back in to chaos.
