Mrs. Trowbridge wrote and sketched many pages in her journal documenting her trips to the sea. She was very vocal about her love for the seashore. On this page she sketched one of the many games that they played on the beach. If you can find a map of the Olympic National Park in Washington State, you can actually follow the route that Mrs. T and her family traveled from Wild Rose Creek, down the Quinault River, across Lake Quinault, to the ocean. Unfortunately, Google Maps doesn't provide an adequate map of that area. Huckleberry Hollow is the village where Mrs. T once lived on Wild Rose Creek, just a short distance upstream from where it meets the Quinault River.

Great snails! fun piece!
This is wonderful:)Love the details!Thanks for the comment and Happy Easter:)
Wow, so cute! I just love those little tykes on the snails. Such a really lovely and fun scene!
Beyond cute! And the stretching of the snails' necks, & crouched positions of the riders & flying hat & banner still give the illusion of speed (albeit not the fastest!) and a true race!
