  • Route of the Hiawatha

    Trudie has been talking about doing the trail of the Hiawatha for quite some time. Well we finally did it! Jackie even came with us down from Seattle.

  • Two Beaches and One Swap Meet

  • Kayaking

    We didn’t have to get up early this morning but it felt early to me. Yesterday we stayed up late and were walking around a lot. We then drove to the kayaking place and were briefed about how to row to the island. They made it sound scary because they made it seem like it […]

  • Swap Meet Day

    Today we woke up early to go to the beach and surf. Jackie went out first with dad on the big surf board. I followed behind on the new bogey board we got at Costco. It was hard to keep up. The surf board was hard to keep up with it seemed to glide through […]

  • Little By Little

           Today we hiked a big mountain. The beginning was so easy but when we went about a mile in, I started getting tired.  By the time we reached the water fall we thought the hike down was worth it  because of the breathtaking water fall, and you could swing into a pool […]

  • Manana trail and Wyumano waterfall

    Today we woke up early to go to Manana trail and hike it to see Wyumano waterfall. Being sunburnt I put on a whole lot of sunscreen so I did not get more burnt. The trail started as an easy straight flat path. I was feeling good about this hike. Then we got to the […]
