On the beach

OK, this is pretty impressive by any standards.  Amanda, Tom and the kids just came back from a five-night backpacking trip in Olympic National Park, on the wild and beautiful Washington coast.  

Let's do the math: That's about 15 meals plus snacks for a hungry family of four.  Wow.

Everyone carried their fair share of the load. And then some.

Planning the hike.

Blessed with nice weather!

 Beach fun along the way.

With sister bonding time.

Maya knows! Never turn your back on the ocean.

The beach camp.

Mom's beach kitchen.

And family memories.
