Deer Park in the Olympic National Park




We spent four days in the Olympics and had a wonderful time.  We had hundreds of pictures but these are the ones that give some of the best overview of our vacation.  
Todd found out that if you take a picture with the BYU flag somewhere exotic and they picked your picture to be published in the BYU magazine than you could get $50.  So that is why everyone is pointing at me because I am wearing a BYU Sweatshirt.
 This was our view.  On almost every hike we went on we were able to see the same type of view.  We truly felt on top of the world.
 Dallin and Hunter showing us there creative moss mustaches.
 This was the last hike we went on the day before we left.  Most of the hike was on the ridge of a mountain.  We took three pictures but two look blurry.  They weren't blurry however it was just the clouds blowing in and out.  


This is a good example of what Gideon does.  He is very observant.  
 Look at his eyes.  He is still watching his sister to make sure he's getting it right or maybe to see if she is going to do something els that he will need to copy.  They are drinking hot chocolate by the way.
 I found this huge beetle and Alaina had fun looking at it for awhile.
 Just thought this rock was cool.  It had all kinds of wildflowers growing off of it that are hard to see.
 Just one example of the deer we saw wandering through our campsite.
 One of the view's
 Todd looking studdly!
 Aiden was able to get this butterfly to hang out on his finger for awhile.
 This was the first major hike we went on.  It was beautiful.
 Mason doing his version of a snot boogie hanging out of his nose with moss
 Of course with the diverse ages in our family we cannot even attempt a hike without everyone helping the younger ones.  Gideon was choosy as to whose shoulders he sat on and it changed frequently.
