We were so happy to have Bart & Cathi (aka Grammie & Poppie) visit this week. Thanksgiving would not have been the same without them and the BBQed turkey. We had missed them so much,
especially Rune.
Despite my complete hopelessness when it comes to any kind of handiwork, a quick lesson in knitting from Cathi and I was hooked. Not much to be said of the finished product...
With a little extra time on our hands, we decided to visit the Olympic Peninsula and Pacific Ocean. On our way we happened through a little town you may have heard of. Any guesses?
I was a lot more excited than I thought I would be after a teacher let us in to the school to check out the cafeteria, gym, etc. Goofy, but it was fun.
I can't say for certain, but I am pretty sure this is where Bella & the Cullens sat during lunch. (Don't worry, I am gagging right now, too) Maybe I should see the movie.
Then on to the real excitement- about as far Northwest as you can go in the Continental US (La Push for anyone who is familiar with the area). The waves were UNREAL. This picture almost captures how amazing it was.
Our little hike up the beach turned into an intense daredevil exercise. The tide was as high as it gets. Our quest meant choosing between clamoring over wet logs, or running between surfs rolling in. Basically we were playing the odds that the ocean would not catch us before we could get onto higher ground and that we would not be crushed by a floating tree. The ocean bested us a few times before we made it to Hole-in-the-Wall, but luckily no major mishaps. But by the time we got there, I was not concerned with my shoes getting wet!
We were super-soaked by the time we were done, but still smiling.
Such a fun time and we are so happy we got to share this week with family. Thanks for everything, BH and CH!

How fun!!! Now, I'm kinda sad that Trevor and I didnt come up there for Thanksgiving! That would have been so much to hang out with all of you guys!
Is that Broc's parents? His mom is beautiful (and she looks way young!). I'm totally jealous that you went to Forks. Were there a lot of tourists?
I'm laughing at this post! That's hillarious, and yes, I'm a bit jealous. Come on, admit it, you pictured yourself being Bella, right? I miss talking to you!
What a groupie you are! Sorry, but I'm pretty sure that the Cullen's sat at a round table at lunch. Wow- that makes me sound almost as obsessed as you.
Because I know YOU'LL notice.... I know the Cullens do not possess the 'sat'. Sorry for the apostrophe.
So jealous! Good ole Forks!
Cameron and I went camping there this summer, you can camp right on the beach. The sunsets were beautiful. Do you guys like to camp? We might have to make a trip together next year.
No way! Forks...really? Too funny. What's even more funny is I sat here trying to guess what town it could be before I continued reading...Dah! It took my awhile. How fun! Brock's parents are too cute.
I heard you all had a fun time. And so fun to check out Forks and see all the little Twilight stuff they have around there. Excited to see you soon for Christmas!!
#1 post of all time. From the super cheeseball (cafeteria scene, re-enacted) to the genuinely radical (La Push), you are my hero.
Miss your stupid attempts at wordplay. Foreplay. Yur sic.
The waves looked wicked. You live in such a cool part of the country. Moby is missing out.
