Fort Flagler, a family campout with Elena’s school

Elena’s school had a family campout at Fort Flagler near Port Townsend, WA.  We slept in barracks, ate meals in a cafeteria, and enjoyed spending time as a family with other Montessori families and Elena’s teachers.  We will definitely go back next year!

Elena had fun playing with Amelia (of course) and Ava who will be joining her class in the fall. There were Papillion puppies everywhere!  Elena’s teacher Katie has one and the rest of the litter are scattered about other school families.

Elena enjoyed the beach very very much, especially collecting and arranging the shells she found.  It was chilly!  Not sure why she isn’t shivering! Besides the beach, we visited the gunnery, haunted hospital, and took the general tour of the old naval site.This was her prize find – a crab claw. Thanks to everyone who planned the campout!  We really had no idea what to expect and were pleasantly surprised with the activities, accommodations, and food.
