On Veteran's Day, we all traveled out a national rainforest up the Olympic Peninsula. Stopping at the beach for a picnic, we all practically froze. So we picnic-ed in the car. Then everyone minus me and Tessa ran out to the beach and collected seashells and watched a family eat raw clams on the shore. After collecting shells and eating lunch in the van, we explored the area. We literally stumbled upon this bridge and a hiking path. The hike was along huge cliffs that went down into a gorge and ravine. We finally got to a lookout with a fence. We loosened our grip on the kids and enjoyed the view. We got caught up in taking pictures of Tessa and looked up and Luke was missing. Ryan and I ran separate directions yelling, "LUKE!!!" Maybe 2 minutes went by but it felt like 30 as I frantically looked everywhere, even off the cliffs. Luke had decided he was ready to go back to the van when Ryan found him. After we safely got the kids to the van, we took turns walking across the bridge and looking at a waterfall and rapids. I felt suspended in the air. We decided to give the boys a treat and take them to Chuck E. Cheese. Maybe the most memorable Veteran's Day ever!

On the other side of the bridge was a gorgeous steep waterfall. |
