Connie is ready for Cow Camp.
Looking over the valley we just traversed on our trusty horses. 
At the top of the bluff that looks over Cow Camp. It isn't easy climbing rock face in cowboy boots. 
David A, our cookie and fauna guide.
This is the happiest I have ever seen Ian at 6am. 
The Cow Camp Homestead.
Horses chillin' at Cow Camp
Breakfast of eggs, sausage and campfire coffee.
Luna, my trusty horse.
An old Model T with a Rocky Mountain Pine growing up in the middle of it.
Our trusty boots for the week. They kept our feet in the stirrups and our rear-ends in the saddle. 
The closest we could get of a family photo...
Soren liked the chickens
Odin and a chicken
Ranch hands(Riley and ) and real cowgirls(Jody) are a lot of fun!
This chicken fell asleep if you tipped it back with its head below its body. 
Soren and his friend, Woody. 
Lori and Dimitri and the kids from kids camp.
We will start with a fantastic end to the day...picnic dinner on the shore of the Pacific Ocean
Complete with our very own pink clouds.
And skipping stones with the boys.
South down the beach. There were too many great round stones to carry.
Family photo.
Any day at the Hoh is a good day.
Someday I will have to tell my boys what this is.
Trees that grew on the deterioration of another fallen tree. Nature is so resourceful.
The boys inside a giant cedar tree
Midday at the beach. Odin studying his shadow.
The largest Sitka Spruce tree in the world. 
"I begin to understand why people think they see Sasquatch in the woods around here." --Ian
Standing on the shoulders of giants
We REALLY enjoy living in the PNW.
