Okay this is the last I'll say about Sequim. I know three posts about a two day trip is silly. Sunday morning we headed up to Olympic National Park. I have wanted to check out Lake Crescent since seeing pictures of the beautiful turquoise lake last year. Marymere Falls is a short hike from the parking lot so we tackled that first. I was so surprised that the same five year old that complains about walking down the street had no problem with these 2 mile hikes. Nature is a good thing! The trail was very stroller friendly until we reached the narrow log bridges. Dale took the rear wheels off and carried the stroller over and up many steep stairs. So glad it wasn't me.
After the falls we enjoyed a picnic lunch until.... a bird attacked me and my sandwich. I screamed so loud and had such a hissy fit the entire parking lot was staring at me. I am terrified of something with wings flapping around me. These birds looked like pigeons on steroids. I think it's claws got stuck in my sweater because the sleeve is a bit unraveled now. Dale thought I completely overreacted but I finished my lunch in the car with Amelia.
We drove over to the Lake Crescent Lodge and checked things out over there. What a beautiful old lodge. Dale and Aiden played a short game of checkers before Amelia tried to pull the game over. There was an elk head over the fireplace that Amelia pointed to and said " Mooses" (sometimes I think she is part genius). I don't have many pictures from the lodge and lake because I dropped my camera and thought it was broken. I can't deny I was a little excited that maybe it was a cosmic sign that I needed to get a digital rebel. But then Dale fixed it. Isn't that great?

Aren't you glad you have a handy husband! Sorry he was able to fix the camera. Maybe one of your kids needs to play with if for a while. I can see a new Rebel in your future!
