Since we celebrated the first anniversary of our move to the Seattle area last week, we decided it was time for us to start enjoying the greatness of the outdoors here! We joined what seemed like every other young family in Western Washington to hike at Twin Falls State Park on Memorial Day. The highlight of the hike is a pair of waterfalls with lookout points between them. We stopped for a rest and some photos at the higher of the two falls.

I uploaded more pictures from the hike to my Shutterfly share site, Team Campbell Pictures. Go ahead and check them out, no password necessary.

It was the first time I’d ever hiked anywhere with an elevation gain, and Dustin carried Bethany in our frame backpack carrier the whole way. After a 500 foot elevation change over a 4 mile roundtrip distance, we were tired and sore, but it was worth it! (Or at least I think so.)
