Oliver Visits the Pacific

We drove out to see Forks and the ocean this weekend.  It was a really pretty drive out there, the weather was nice, and Forks was really small.


The hotel we stayed at crushed out dreams of cleaning fish on the table as soon as we entered to check in.  Hoot Belly wasted no time once we got in the room finding the bathroom and turning on the shower.  On-Off-On-Off-On - come find us to show us it is on - Off - On.  This went on a long time. 




The ocean out by Forks was amazing.  We put him in the backpack and hiked along the beach for a few miles.  It was high tide so we were trying to avoid the waves as we made it around all the logs. 


Oliver likes our Nature Valley granola bars, so naturally we felt like we belong in one of those commercials where the people are hiking, looking thoughtfully out into the wilderness, and eating a snack.




We were headed for a place down the beach where there was a natural arch in the rock, but since it was high tide there was a river we had to cross.  It was so close, but I didn't want to cross on the logs with him in the pack so we didn't make it there.  We got him out so he could hoot around and have a snack.  He had so much fun climbing on the logs and looking at the birds.

"Mom, I want to go see the waves!!  They are right there!"


"The rez."
