Again a later post then I had anticipated . . . Been busy on the farm with harvest (beans, squash, cucumbers, fennel, potatoes, and so much more!), and making sure all is well in our little ecosystem. On the weekends I've enjoyed exploring bits of Washington. Some of the girls and I took a trip to the Olympic Peninsula, and a few weeks ago we all went down to Mount Rainier for a hike. This past weekend Josh and I enjoyed a trip up to San Juan island to go on a sea kayaking trip. I have a love for the water and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the coast via kayak. We didn't spot any orcas, but did see plenty of harbor seals, star fish, jelly fish, and enjoyed munching on some bulb kelp. See, that's what I love about the Northwest - I can travel four hours or so and be so many different places, this place is truly an outdoor enthusiasts heaven.

Views along Ruby Beach
The Elwha Dam the week before the river restoration project began (the largest dam/river restoration project in US history).
The rainforest
Up on Hurricane Ridge
Rainier revealing itself from the fog for a brief moment.
The group at Pebble Creek, 7,200 ft.
Along the trail back to the visitors center.
A purple star fish munching on some barnacles that was found while sea kayaking near San Juan
Floating in a bulb kelp field looking towards Canada (the land in the distance)
A little jelly fish
