November 15, 2015 Olympic Peninsula

 Cape Flattery hike



 Rex loved all the little paths.  He told me he loved to hike with me and wanted to hold my hand all day.  It was so endearing.

 The moss covered trees looked like monsters.  It was so cool.

 Two squirrels.

I'm a little squirrel squirrel squirrel, coming from a hole hole hole.  Rex sang this lovely song while pretending to be a squirrel coming out of a tree.


 The best time to go is in the winter when all the leaves are gone and the moss can thrive.

 Ruby beach.




 It dumped on us and then it was beautiful and sunny.



It was an amazing trip and we feel so luck to live in the Pacific North West! 

It was a little tricky we were out of cell phone reception for the majority of the time, so it was a little tricky to get the news that Mike's sweet grandma has passed away.  She was a sweet lady and we are glad we get to be a part of her family.


 Nana has come to visit.

We are so excited.

November 7, 2015 zoo day.

 I love going to the zoo when it is cold.  The animals are active and no one is there.

 You can hang with the gibbons.

 Sway with the elephants.

 Pet the sting rays.

 And you can take 9 kids to the zoo and only two adults no problem.


 9 kids.



Thanks Elizabeth for being an awesome spot and an awesome friend.

Ike at swim lessons.  He has a million teeth, wont hold still and is a bundle of joy.  He is a gift to our family and we are grateful for his spirit.
