And then there was Lake Quinault

Our kids invited us up to Washington to share their time in a cabin on Lake Quinault which is on the Olympic peninsula.  It's gorgeous as you will see. We enjoyed both our younger daughters and their families and a family they were friends with.


We were immediately drawn to the water.  Everyone loved it and played in the water in spite of the cool temperatures.  The paddle boards were a huge hit.





 
I was impressed at how adventurous they all were.
That tiny dot out on the water is a mom and child on a paddle board.
 

Of course we built a fire and of course we enjoyed 'some mores'...I may never wait till night time to make them again...it was so much easier in the daylight.





 As you can see the hot tub was a big hit and a nice way to warm up after cold lake water.
Aunt Elena found Glow jewelry!!!

Girl Friends colored dollar store bags

 Elena found matching dresses for the cousins...and their Moms!!!

Resting and reading also happened.

There were alarming quantities of blackberries found on the property.  They were enjoyed fresh, as compote, and in a pie.  We shared out meals and it was perfect.  Delicious and low stress.

Aunt Elena plays the best games!

Food Good!

 The cabin was large and beautiful.
There were amazing several tables made out of burls. I guessed that the owner was a woodworker.

It was such a fun weekend.  We sure enjoyed our kids and their friends.  Everyone got along so well...even the adults.  We are truly blessed!
