Olympic National Forest Day 1

We went on a 4 day trip to the Olympic National Forest. We did a lot of hikes and had a great time!

Our first hike was the Quinault Trail Loop. It was almost 4 miles long and took us about 2.5 hours to complete.

They wanted to see how cold the water was. It was very cold!


Coleman does not like hiking and wasn't too happy on this hike. He didn't even want to smile for pictures.



I love trees covered in this hanging moss.

We saw lots of little waterfalls.








Coleman wanted to rest every chance he got (which is why it took us 2.5 hrs instead of the average 1.5).

Kenzie loves climbing on fallen logs.

This one was really long!


We thought the roots of this tree looked cool.


Kenzie climbed through a tree!




After the hike we walked to the tallest spruce tree. It was huge!







Jordan gets his cast off

Jordan got his cast off on June 13th. He has a brace to wear now. He likes it so much more than the cast! 



It was weird to see how much more tan his not cast arm was than his casted arm. He also thinks his casted arm looks gross and skinny now.

Select Soccer

Kenzie had her first select soccer tournament a couple weeks ago. She played great and scored two goals in her second game. Her team won one of three games. She had a lot of fun playing!

 

Egg Drop

Jackson, Jordan, and Kenzie had a egg drop contest at a combined activity.

Sleeping Beauty Dance Recital

Kenzie loved performing in her dance recital again this year! She really love performing! She had three parts: an extra part as a goon, a thorn for her acro class, and a crow for her hip hop class.

She's on the end in her goon costume.

Everyone from the afternoon show.
