Orcas Adventures- Thursday

On Thursday, Jason took a break after breakfast to make a quick run (not literally,we drove) to Mt. Constitution, the highest point on the island. It has a tower that provides and incredible panoramic view!

After Lunch, we had planned to go to the playground in the day- use area of the park and then go on a hike, it was raining- but we went anyway!

For our hike, we went on a pretty easy trail that was par of the Cascade Lake loop. It was a pretty wide and level path, so Gus got to hike on his own two legs a bit, which he loved! Jonah was the leader, of course.

After our hike and a nap, it was time for the big banquet. This grand finale was a medieval style banquet complete with decorations, knights, princesses and no utensils- too fun!

The campers had cool "goblets"

No utensils? We did get plates.

Thursday night was fun, but the kids went to bed petty early, which gave mom time to (sadly) pack.
