Looking so grown up with those gorgeous sunlit eyelashes!

19 Months - Olympic Peninsula

The following pictures were all taken on our week long camping trip around the beautiful Olympic Peninsula.

This photo was taken on one of our hikes from the inside of one of the world's largest western cedars.
Out to get the local ducks looking for crackers.
A fun sun and sand filled day at Kalaloch Beach.
