Mixed Age Baseball ⚾️ So fun to see the games they organize and the collaboration they bring to the field during recess. Although sometimes it’s hard to stay out of it when their rules don’t quite make the most sense 🤪

Protect Our Parks 💚 We leave Olympic National Park with so many lessons learned, memories formed, and inspiration gained to protect these wild spaces we are so fortunate to explore.
