It was a bit of a drive. Probably 2 1/2 hours to get there. For those not familiar with Sakhalin, he red dot is where we were and we live in the southern city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. So quite the drive.
The kids were troopers though! Even with the 630am wake up. They are early risers anyway but this time we had to be firing on all cylinders that early.
The scenery along the drive was fantastic. We drove up to Donlinsk and then followed the coast all the way up. It really is pretty
This is the mountain we climbed - Hannah and I plus dogs went up first while Will and the kids played in the water and then we went up again with the kids.
The other side of the beach
These two goons just melt my heart
Man's best friend!
Mosya was having the best of time running ALL over the place. No one yelling at her for being off her leash, no chaos, nothing. Just a happy dog doing what a dog does. However, she is only 1 so still very much a puppy. She pounced Mike, CJ, and Beth's son Asher one or twice. We need to work on that :-)
Digging for buried treasure
SELFIE TIME!!!!! Gotta have pictures with that beast of a mountain! And YES.... I have a winter head band on for my ears. It was a bit cold. Plus... It kept my ears from burning and helped keep my glasses on during the climb.
Look how happy she is - no clue what she was digging for :-)
These munchkins had the best of time. They ran all over the place with Mo while we waited for the other cars to arrive
YAY! The other cars are here and that means Mo's best bud Atlas is here. These two dogs RAN ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!! It was amazing watching them. Hannah has more photos of the dogs so stay tuned!
