Olympic National Park 7.09

Here are some pictures of the kids at the rain forest.
The picture below is of us all looking at the fallen tree that has now become a nursery tree (we think that is what it is called!). Right after we saw this Lauren tripped on a root and fell. She got scratched up a bit and continued on. She fell many times in the rain forest but didn't want any help. One of her favorite sayings is, "I DO IT!"

Here are some pictures of us on Hurricane Ridge. The one up above is we are all looking at a cute little chipmunk. Below: we are looking at the great view on our hike.

After the family reunion we went to see the Olympic National Park with Shane's brother and his family (Heath). It was a fun trip. The kids enjoyed spending more time with their cousins and seeing some cool sites. We stayed in a motel the first night we got up there and the next day we drove around the Park. First we went to Hurricane Ridge then to the Rain Forest and the to Ruby beach. Each one of our girls had different favorites. Brianna loved the hike up the mountain because we saw some wild life. Paige loved the Rain Forest because of the cool trees and being with her cousins. Lauren liked the beach because of the stacked rocks and playing with all the sand, water and rocks. After we saw the sites we drove back to Grandma and Papa's house to spend one last day with them. It made for a long day but it was neat to see some new sites.
