We hosted this year's family reunion in Sequim. It is quite a distance for my family in San Diego and Provo. But the location was a wonderful wooded sanctuary. Washington State has a collection of Environmental Learning Centers that are great for family reunions. Some are large enough to hold summer football programs for high schools. This one had a lodge and a few outbuildings, 3-sided buildings with bunks.
Some of the family hiked around Hurricane Ridge.
We brought our little boat to wander around Sequim Bay.
The commercial sized kitchen had a pass-through for Marnie.
We played volleyball in the afternoon.
We had to take a ferry to get to the peninsula. When the captain came over the intercom to tell these three to cease their horseplay, I loudly asked, "What would your mother say?"
As close as it seems, we have to drive up Camano Island, across to Whidbey Island, ferry from Fort Casey to Port Townsend, and then drive to Sequim.
Each family was in charge of a meal during the week. And we have plenty of good cooks.
Jackson got to play on someone's motorbike.
We enjoyed outdoor cooking and the smell of good wood smoke.
Hurray for family reunions!
Carefully handling crab.
Tad taught me how to play ping pong years ago. Now she's trying to beat the master.
