Finally, posting again.

Hey there. We have had nearly a month of either no internet or a broken computer, so no posting has been happening for quite some time. But we have been busy with visitors and trips. Below you will see pictures of Mt. Rainier, the Olympic National forest area/coast, and Bryan's special nurse log cake. I'll post some more pictures very soon.




This is the Hoh River, which is in the back part of the llama ranch that we stayed at.
Beautiful land.
Ruby beach on a rainy afternoon. (It rains an average of 140 inches a year on the Western side of the Olympic mountain range.)

A cave on Second Beach.

Bryan exploring the cave.


The Edmonds Ferry, which we took to get to the Olympic Penninsula, and also where we explored tide pools with Tim and Cindy when they were visiting.
Bryan's confectionary rendition of a nurse log. Love it.

Liz on a huge driftwood log by the ocean. See the cave back there?

Another picture of Ruby Beach where the river runs into the ocean, not sure which river.

The working Llama ranch/B&B where we stayed for two nights, a one-of-a-kind experience.





A footbridge over a glacial river at the foot of Mount Rainier.
Mt. Rainier's glacier covered peak, through the mist.

A real life gigantic nurse log.

A Mountain Lake near Mt. Rainier.

This is what sea anemones look like when the tide goes out. Yuck and cool.








Liz and Angie on the Duck (sea and land) tour of Seattle. Yes, those are kazoos, and yes, we were obnoxious.






Bryan, Scott, and Liz by and in a fallen tree in the forests of Mount Rainier.






The Kromenacker boys, all so very handsome.
