Orcas Island

We spent the weekend on Orcas Island, one of the larger San Juan Islands. We went with a group of our friends: 7 adults and 3 kids. We had a great time and even managed to have some "adult" time where all 3 kids were sleeping at the same time.

Leana and Jeff braved the cold Pugent Sound water. Leana loved it, looking for shells and seaweed in the shallow water. We also did a nice "hike" up Mt Constitution, which is one of the best 360 degree views of the area that you can get. With a 4 month old, a 1 year old, a 2 year old and 34 weeks pregnant lady we decided to cut the 7 mile steep hike shirt and just did about 3 miles to see the view. It was the perfect amount for all of us!

We are quite the crew!

Leana loved the backpack ride.
The top! This picture does not do the view justice. Mt Baker can be seen in the background.
