Dave and I and Mom and Pops decided to go on a little overnight trip a couple of weeks ago! We went over to the Olympic Peninsula to the Pacific Ocean and to the rain forest. You can see by this picture that it was a bit rainy but that is how it is supposed to be in the rain forest... right? Here on the beach people were clam digging.
We took 2 Ferry's on our trip and really enjoyed them.
On the second one we just sat in the car and had the best view straight out the window!
Out on deck... some guy asked if he could take our picture... it really was fun. The pictures make it look cold all bundled up in our coats but it was actually really pleasant. We spent the night in Forks Washington.
The rain forest was so cool. Moss everywhere... pictures don't do it justice.
This is mom in front of a big blown over tree. We loved the ferns growing everywhere.
This is
supposed to be the worlds largest
spruce. It is as tall as 2 football fields and you can see how fat it is. We have decided to take a few day trips and see this beautiful country we live in.
For Mothers Day Dave and I decided to give mom another place to sit and enjoy her yard. We pulled out some overgrown Juniper along the driveway last fall and so there were 2 large places of dirt that needed flowers and fixing up.
We put in a park bench so when pops gets the paper or mom gets the mail they have a resting place on the way back. The doctor told us to do this all over the yard but we have only done a few. He told us again this week to have lots of resting places so we better get busy!!
They seem to really like it! We have planted lots of flowers this year and the yard is looking really nice. Now keep on reading to my next blog about our adventure to the rain forest.
