The Rainforest

William has always wanted to go to the Amazon and see the rainforest. Because that really didn't seem feasible and we wanted to take a trip with Chris' mom for the weekend, we chose the Olympic National Forest instead. I had never been there before and it was beautiful! We didn't have time to see even a fraction of the park so we will have to go back again someday.


It was hard to choose pictures (there were about 300) so here it goes...



Our cabin








Moss doesn't grow on the north side of a tree

There were some REALLY BIG trees!




This is the sign for the tree in the video

Ruby Beach

The Sol Duc River- we decided it was so pretty that we should go swimming. It looked like so much fun that even Mom went swimming!

Yes, it was cold!
