Ryan's sister Heather moved to Issaquah, Washington six months ago. We decided to take a road trip to go see her this summer before the family reunion in Oregon.
Adelyn was so excited to see her cousins Savanna, Kiley, and Abby again. They have so much fun together.
Annalise picked these beautiful wildflowers by the pond.
We took the kids raspberry picking at berry farm near Issaquah.
The berries were HUGE!
Even Bryant took a turn.
The kids all lined up for a picture after we finished picking the berries.
Later that day, we went to Pine Lake where the kids played in the water and on the playgrounds.
These girls had a blast together.
The next day, we drove to Mount Rainier National Park. This is the outlook where you can see five different volcanoes at once, including Rainier.
We took the kids on a beautiful hike called "Grove of the Patriarchs" where we got to see trees that are estimated to be over 1,000 years old.
The next day, we went to Jetty Island, off the coast of Everett, Washington. It was a little windy and cold, but we still had a pretty good time.
Preston and Bryant became best buds on our trip. This picture is taken on our first day at Beachside Park in Waldport, Oregon. Ryan's aunt Ruth organized the whole camp-out and it was a huge success and so much fun.
We spent most of our time on the beach playing with the sand toys, collecting sea shells, and splashing in the waves. The girls loved getting buried in the sand and having sand mermaid tails in place of their legs.
Seal Rock was just a few miles away from our campsite and had the most amazing tide pools. I have never seen so many starfish! We also saw lots of crab and anemones. What a beautiful place, and the weather was perfect. It was a fabulous family vacation.
