Orcas Island!

So we were home for about 3 days. Just enough time for me to do the laundry from the previous camping trip and we decided to go on another. This time we went the other way, north, and headed to the San Juan Islands. They are beautiful!! We stayed on Orcas Island which has the tallest mountain in the San Juan Islands. It is great because they have a fire tower at the top that you can climb up and get almost the entire 360 degree view. From the top you can see Mt Rainier, Mt Baker, all of the San Juan Islands, Anacortes, and Victoria and Vancouver in Canada. It was amazing. We forgot our camera so we had to use our phones which are a lot less impressive and not very clear but they are still fun to show. We camped in the Moran State Park on a penninsula on a lake on an island! It was soo beautiful. The boys had fun running around with no rain. We also made this trip a little shorter and only stayed 3 days, 2 nights.

 Campground at the Moran State Park. We are camped at Mountain Lake. It was beautiful!

 This was about 20 feet from our camping spot. We again camped in  the middle of the campground so that we were further away from the water. Brody tries to jump in no matter where we go. He LOVES water!

 The waterfall that we hiked to. It was a 75ft waterfall that was really fun to see and a super easy hike with the kids, even Brody did this one mostly on his own.

 Our camp fire! This is a big deal because Ryan does not like campfire. He Clayton really wanted to have one and roast hot dogs and marshmallows so we did. He loved it. Brody does not really like fire so he was easy he would not get near it, which I prefer. To make smores a little easier, we got chewy choc chip cookies and marshmallows and did that instead. I have to say that I liked it better. Way good!!

 This is the tower that you climb up to see the views. Clayton loved it, he called it the castle, because it was all stone.

 The view of Mt Baker from the top. There was a sea haze they said that made it a big foggy, but you could still see enough to make it well worth the trip.

Clayton and Brody sitting on a rock and the campground. I have about ten of these pictures with them sitting on different things. Clayton would walk Brody around and find a log or a rock to sit Brody on, then sit next to him and yell for me to take a picture. It was so cute that I did almost every time. Brody loved all of the attention that he got, and Clayton likes to feel like he is a good babysitter.
