Savannah at Ruby Beach in the Olympic National Park. We took HWY 101 to meet up with our family and came across this beach. One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to! The beach consisted of these fantastic flat cobbles that were washed out from the surrounding glacial deposit. AMAZING.

Ruby Beach.... could have stayed all day.
Dada and Toots colouring while we wait for lunch (her first crayon/restaurant experience) at Kalaloch Lodge in the Olympic National Park. The lodge overlooked the ocean. Gorgeous view.

Toots diggin the sands of Long Beach. SHE LOVED THIS.
Our cousin Dan and his daughter Emma and Dada and Toots hit the waves.
We have both always admired Savannah because she is very brave. We definitely enjoyed watching her plow right into the cold Pacific without hesitation. She would sign for more if you started to pul her out. She loved it, so we did too.

The week we were there happened to be the same week as Long Beach's international kite festival. Amazing. Synchronized kites, people flying 3 at once and coordinating their movement etc.
On our way home.... One thing I love about parenting young children, is that you have to take life slower. Alas numerous car breaks! Here is one of them at Beach 3 back in the Olympic National Park. Toots LOVES throwing rocks into the water. I tell her that is very manly of her, but she loves, loves, loves it and would do it all day and night if we let her.
As my dear geology prof Dr. Schermer would say, "World's Best Disconformity." Amazing. Seriously some of the best I have ever seen. I wish I had this photo when I was teaching. The bottom layer with the honeycomb weathering is some sort of sandstone. The top layer some conglomerate (possibly glacial... should have taken more notes when we were there). Beautiful. I was seriously so into this.... still drooling now as I write about it months later.
