cousin catherine

Brian's cousin Catherine (Catie) was here from Georgia for a little visit.  One thing she wanted to do while in the PNW?  Hike!  Well, since we love to hike that was an easy request to fulfill.  Given a few options (there are SO many in the PNW) she chose the peninsula.  More specifically, Sol Duc Hot Springs.  I think the drive was a little longer than she expected, but once we were there the view was more than worth it.  Sometimes I forget what a beautiful part of the world I get to call home.

The kids took a real shining to Catherine (who they loved to call Catie!).  Noah said she couldn't be an adult because she looks like a teenager!

Stretching our legs near Lake Crescent.  It was a little windy, little chilly, but beautiful.
Look what Noah found?! He pretended he did the carving...don't worry, he didn't. I love that my kids still take Tiger and Monkey on all road trips.
Isn't she beautiful?
These two make me smile.
