The Pioneer Bridle Trail runs right by our cabin, and we use it all the time for hiking, biking, and daily dog walking. With temperatures looking to hit 88 here today, Lola the Lab and I set out early. . . . . . #mounthood #pioneerbridletrail #cabinlife #cousincamp2018 #labsofinstagram #yellowdog #walkinthewoods #familytravel #summerfun #oregon (at Rhododendron, Oregon)

Everyone reads more at the cabin, and this was a fabulous sight to wake up to. . . . . . #cabinlife #cousincamp2018 #mounthood #zigzagriver #reading #familytravel #familyfunexpert #books

The way to forest happiness. It's been a busy day here at the cabin. Cleaning up after mice; plying the ShopVac; making beds; sweeping. This place has been ours since 1987 and I can never get settled until things are "settled." Now we play. . . . . . #cousincamp2018 #mountain #mthoodnf #cabinlife #rhododendron #zigzagriver #nature #familytravel #familytime (at Rhododendron, Oregon)

Fossil hunting at Racehorse Creek Fossil Beds! An enormous landslide in 2009 left an unbelievable number of fossils just ready to be discovered. Such a fun way to introduce kids to the idea that sometimes it takes a slow approach to find nature's most amazing gifts. . . . . . #AKontheGO #cousincamp2018 #hiking #juniorarcheologists #learnbydoing #exploreyourworld #STEM #natureplay #outdoorfamilies #outdoorswithkids #outfam (at Maple Falls, Washington)

How have we never been to @cultuslakewaterpark, just an hour north of Bellingham in British Columbia? What a fantastic day of Cousin Camp! . . . . . #cultuslake #waterparks #britishcolumbia #cousincamp2018 #kidfun #familytravel #familyfunexpert #pnw #upperleft #AKontheGO (at Cultus Lake Waterpark)

Seward's library and community museum are a great combination on rainy days (or any day, actually)! Look for interesting history of this seaside town, and some sobering reminders of the 1964 earthquake. . . . . . #museums #seward #alaska #history #learnbydoing #exploreyourworld #AKontheGO #familytravel #familyfunexpert #alaskawithkids #kidfriendlyak (at Seward Community Library & Museum)

Lakeside @subway is the best Subway. Rushing to meet our fishing guide left us needing a fast, healthy meal before floating the Kenai River all afternoon. A 6-inch turkey and a double-chocolate did me just fine. . . . . #ad #eatfresh #wherewesubway #seeingsubs #kenailake #AKontheGO #familytravel #familyfunexpert #alaska #subwaytogo #subwayak #feedingthefamily #outdoorswithkids #cooperlanding
