Camping Trip: Kalaloch (Olympic Coast)

We had a great time camping this year at Kalaloch on the Olympic coast.  The only downside was that it was such a long drive to get there we would have rather stayed a few extra nights.  The kids definitely would have been ok with this, they both got so upset when we said we were heading home.
Leana: "I wish we could stay here forever!"
Julian: "No go back home, go back campsite!"

We had a total of 7 adults and 7 kids and 3 campsites to spread out on.  The kids loved going to the beach, going on the nature trail (about a mile long loop which Leana treated more as a trail run with 2 of the other kids), playing freeze tag around the campsite, and of course roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. Leana also earned her first "Junior Ranger" badge which was no joke - they had to complete 5 activities from a workbook, go on a nature walk, go to a ranger talk and then get sworn in by the ranger.
