Olympic National Park

I am very behind in sharing pictures from our visit with my dad and Mary. The weekend they were here we went to Olympic National Park. Saturday we drove up to hurricane ridge then we stayed in a motel in Forks, Wa. Sunday we spent the morning at the pool then went to the Hoh rain forest. After a hike through the rain forest (which was totally amazing) we went to the ocean. Oh how I love the ocean!!

Jonathan, Mike, Deklan and my dad at the lookout point on hurricane ridge.

While driving through the Hoh rain forest there was a sign that said "big tree." My dad almost drove off the road to see it :)
Everyone hiking in the rain forest.
Merrick in his new backpack. Isn't he so cute!!!

I just have to ask--when you stayed in Forks, did you see any signs or anything relating to Stephenie Meyer's vampire series? I have seen two trailers for Twilight and the acting looks ATROCIOUS! I definitely won't pay even $1 to see it in theaters, but I'll probably cave and rent it on DVD.

Andrea, I had to ask Jonathan what you were talking about. I don't do vampires so I had no idea. We didn't see anything in Forks about it. But while at a resturant waiting for dinner we did over hear some guy talking about burning down a hanger (and someone's house the last summer). It was an interesting place.
