Vacation WWW

I have just coined our vacation "Whirlwind Week in Washington". I will forever now refer to it as 'WWW'. I feel incredibly lucky to live in such a beautiful and diverse area of the country. This past week we started off in the desert, then camped at the base of a mountain and literally lived on a lake for 4 days. The clothes we packed alone are telling of the different climates we experienced. These are all things that Anth and I have been doing for years together. But now we get to share them with our son. Its a beautiful thing to watch your son hold a fishing pole for the first time, roast marshmallows by the campfire and go for long hikes in the woods. He is already a true outdoorsman. Next up: peeing outside.

Can a two year old look more relaxed than this without being asleep?

You guys always inspire us to do more! If only we could teleport to these wonderful places. I would love to skip the road trip there and back! You are capturing some amazing moments of Oliver and he is getting some fantastic memories to relive. I especially LOVE the beach shot and his photo with Sophie. Tobin's favorite appears to be the rock throwing photo. One of his favorite things to do!
