Labor Day in the San Juans

This past weekend we spent on Orcas Island camping at Moran State Park with Carolyn & Njord and Ethan & Jen. The Sandholms were also supposed to join us, but poor little Sully came down with croupe and had to stay home to rest and get better. This trip is something we have done with the Sandolms for about 4 years (not counting last summer when we didn't go because of new baby Alistair). So it was a bummer to not have them join, and even more so since they are moving to Minnesota soon!! ):

Anyway, we had a lot of fun. The weather held, except for maybe 10-15 minutes of rain Saturday morning before we even got up. We did some hiking by the lake and up on Mount Constitution, we walked around Eastsound and checked out their farmer's markets and we all took turns chasing Alistair around while he walked everywhere with either his mail cart or firetruck (but not unassisted, don't be silly!).
What do you mean there is a view, I can't see anything!I love hiking and swimming and running up hill and running down hill and and and......but man does it tire me out!! Sadie went to bed at the same time as Alistair on Saturday and Sunday night. We let her off leash as much as we could while hiking and she took full advantage of it! She hiked at least twice as much if not more in mileage than us!

The last night we were there we decided to get dinner in Eastsound rather than make a mess and have to clean up. Here's Alistair enjoying his cheeseburger and looking like he has been camping for 3 days! (:
