Camano Island State Park

I am back from Uganda and I spent Labor Day weekend with my family on Camano Island. My brother, Aaron, also came up to visit and it was very fun to see him. Sometimes the exuberance of the house can overwhelm. Since it was fairly sunny one of our favorite activities was to go to Camano Island State Park which is only a few minutes drive from our house. I thought I would post just a few pictures from your walk/hike for you to enjoy and admire the island-lifestyle.

Sarah took this lovely picture of the beach.


The park has lots of educational materials such as this sign which is being highlighted by Aaron. Apparently, "Falling can be deadly." Who knew? I am really glad I went to the park so I could learn this important fact.


This picture was taken by the fabulous Paul. From left to right: Me, Sarah, Aaron, and Kalkidan. We had a lot of fun.


A pic of the loop trail. We went on Roy's trail first and it was super lame - it just led to a RV circle with a bunch of people playing horseshoes. If you ever go hiking in the park stay away from Roy. The loop trail isn't really a loop though, it dead ends on a road and you have to walk on pavement for the last little bit, but it is still fun.



My brother Aaron works as an outdoor educator and so we learned a lot on the hike as he taught us about various plants and animals we discovered.
