Outdoors.

Our second stop after a cabin on Lake Quinalt was camping on the Pacific near Long Beach (WA, not LBC).  Della accomplished something new and exciting … becoming completely filthy for 3 days straight.  Very impressive, she doesn’t usually like to get too dirty.  Here she is helping set up the tent.

I think by leaving all electronics at home we saw some fairly amazing sights.  2 young deer wading in the surf with us for over 30 minutes (no obvious reason why).  A flock (seriously) of hawks combing the trees.  Family of otters hanging out on the logs around our cabin.  Oh yeh, Deer flies … as of this trip if D has any injuries she blames them on ‘Flies’.  ‘No Dad, Flies’.  Deer flies are ruthless, I don’t know where they hide closer to the city, but I don’t want to know.

Dell’s 2nd birthday is nearing – 8/8/8.
