Lake Quinault Vacation



We all joined the Wilkerson-Everett-Ramerman-Riley clan on a vacation to the west side of the Olympic Peninsula - August 9th - 11th. The trip was in celebration of Duane and Kathryn's 2th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time, the houses were right on the water. We kayaked, snorkelled, hiked, spent great times with family, and had wonderful food. We had so much fun that we're going to try to make it a regular outing.

The weather gave us some beautiful sunshine dispersed throughout the typical drizzly temperate rainforest climate. On the hike in the Olympic National Forest, we saw some huge old-growth Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedar trees. They were beautiful. As usual, Leopold slept through most of the hike in his carrier - this time with Grandpa Duane. Leopold was spoiled hanging out with all the aunts, uncles, and cousins. He's still a few months behind the crawlers - Davis and Lael - but he'll be keeping up with them by Christmas!

Leopold had plenty of great quality time with Grandpa - see the pics below.

This is fun Grandpa!

Leopold is very serious about slobbering all over Grandpa's knee.
