Sol Duc 2014

We went to Sol Duc Hot Springs again this summer and it was better than last year.  The kids had a ball and couldn't get enough time hiking, looking for wildlife, and soaking up the sun.  Poor Rylee broke her arm the day before we left on the monkey bars.  So she was limited on swimming but that didn't stop her.  We still loved every minute of it and can't wait to return next year!

Our Cabin

 

Every morning we went on different hikes and the kids did such a great job this year.  We would go for about 2 hours and we hike to Sol Duc Falls, Salmon Falls, and different nature hikes.

 

How old is that tree?

First thing was to always find a great walking stick!

Nature

 

Every afternoon we went swimming.  At Sol Duc there are three different hot pools and one swimming pool.  Tyler loved the big swimming pool!

 

 

We felt so bad for Rylee but she will be  back swimming in no time.

 

 

We can't believe our vacation is done with but we are counting the days until next year!  We love Sol Duc so much because we feel like it is a true vacation without any technology and or even reception!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Brian and Tyler!  We love you so much and hoped you enjoyed every minute of it!

Birthday Boys!

We then went down to Olympia Children's Museum and the kids loved it!  We are already planning on our next trip!

 The Baseball game was also another highlight!  They love going there so much and plus it's only a couple miles away!  

Low Tide at Titlow Beach

Last weekend we had a low tide event at our local beach.  It was so neat and the kids love looking for crabs!  The were able to touch all sorts of animals and the best part of it was it was 2 miles from our house!  Rylee touched everything are was so excited when e crab didn't pinch her.  Tyler just wanted to run around a be a boy and throw rocks in the ocean!

Rylee's 5th Birthday

We can't believe it but our sweet Rylee is 5 years old!  She had quite a few birthday parties and had a ball at each one of them!

 She loved opening all of her presents!  She finally got the movie frozen!

Hr birthday outfit!

We then went to the Tacoma Rainer game!  Plus they had fireworks too!

We had her kid party at the YMCA gymnastic room!

She had a great birthday and we can't believe she is 5 years old!  Happy birthday Rylee's!
