Eby's landing

We had a beautiful Labor Day here in Oak Harbor and decided to venture out for a family hike. Per the recommendation of a friend, we headed to Eby's landing, which is just a few miles south of Oak Harbor. Hazel and Jude actually did quite well! Jude "rode" with Noel and slept almost the whole way. Hazel was too curious and kept peeking out of her hood. We didn't complete the whole trail since we had Hazel and Jude with us, but we're hoping to do it someday! It's only 3.5 miles total, but with a pretty steep incline and babies on your chest, it was more than we were prepared for that day. Plus, we wouldn't have made it back before they got hungry. Maybe someday they can hike it with us!



Heading up...and up and up

Great view from the first climb.

The cloud passed by (see it in a few pictures up)



Yes, we started down on the beach. It was not the leisurely walk I was anticipating but very fun!



It's nice to discover some of the beauty we've been hearing about on the island. I'm sure we have many more hikes/walks in our future!
