Awesome 4th of July

---

7/4/2008

I finally got to do what I have been waiting for. I read a book, Twilight, a while ago which is based in Forks. So that is where we went to day! First we went to Rialto Beach which is very pretty. Then we went to La Push, an indian reservation, to see a boat that we are taking deep sea fishing. Then we went to Forks. When we got there the fourth of July parade was finishing up so we didn't see that. After a bunch of pictures and lunch we headed on to the Hoh Rainforest. It gets 40 to 260 inches of rainfall a year! It was very pretty. That night we watched fireworks from our campsite over the lake.

These were huge comercial fishing boats.

Hoh Rainforest
We saw a bunch of wildlife. Woodpeckers, squirrels, slugs, and millipedes. We never did see elk, which was a dissapointment.

Hey Katie! Thanks for the update. We got home last night. We spent the 4th at a rodeo in St Paul, OR. It was really fun! I hope you guys are having a blast! Love, Larianne

My parents are going to be home July 12th. I am going with my grandma to Cheyenne, Wyoming and won't be home till the first of August. We are not really going to one place just up the coast and now we are headed down through Idaho and Utah.
