Fishing Fun

One of the first things we did after Jay got home was to take the girls to Olympic National Park. It is so breath-takingly beautiful there, and has always been one of our favorite haunts. We've been going there since the first time we lived in Washington when we were first married. Love, love, love it!!! And now it is associated with so many fun and wonderful memories, that we can't help but to love it all the more. Since it was still March, we just went for the day and brought along a picnic and the fishing poles!

We didn't have any luck in the fishing department this day, but we were fortunate enough to see a herd of elk as we were driving home. It was then that we realized the girls had never seen elk before. They were a bit stymied as to what these creatures might be. The guesses ranged from llamas to camels. We won't let our Wyoming relatives know that our children were unable to identify elk. Grandpa would be shaking his head...
