Adventures

So I betcha wonderin where I've been.... well... ahem... Ive been having wonderous, exciting adventures! Ya know the kind that leave your butt and calves soooo dang sore you think they will fall off? Ya. Friday we went up to Molton Falls, (our new fave place) and went hiking. Uphill. I'll tell ya thats the best exercise a prego woman can get!! Heres some pics:

We hiked about 7-8 miles... was absolutley beautiful! I love hiking :)  Saturday, we decided to drive up to the Ape Caves...hehe... well only

 to find out that there is still 5 feet of snow EVERYWHERE! We so would have trekked around if we had snowshoes. Once again, it was beautiful. There was a small boardwalk trail that took us around a bit that we went on. There were other trails but they were covered with snow and there were HUGE holes (see photob below) in the ground that we just didnt want to misstep into. Aparently those holes used to be trees a thousand years ago, b

ut Mount St. Helens  (which is right next to where we were) took care of them and left holes. Weird phenomena. 

So since the Ape Caves were a bust, we decided to Hey lets go to Olympia! (1.5 hours away) So we drove up, a very pretty drive by the way, and a nice straight shot up I-5. We got there about 2 or so, and we timed the weekend right because apparently Friday was Earth Day (who knew?) so there was a huge art/hippie fest right in the middle of town. We first went up to Pierce Point Park and toodled around (by toodling, I mean hiking) on thier trails, then we went to town. As night fell the streets got more filled and things were happening. There were so many bands!!! So many. We decided to go the gourmet route and dine at the BEST hotdog stand ever. Well, I 

got a hot dog (which later gave me heartburn, but water gives me heartburn so whatever) and Zac got a pulled pork sandwich. (I cant stomach BBQ sauce at this point.) We stayed until about 10:30 and joined in the Luminescence Parade, which was pretty fun. Then we decided, heck were here, so we found the cleanest Motel 6 I've ever seen and stayed the night. Then went back for more hiking in the early afternoon after breakfast. We were going to stay for the rest of the day, but it was raining and,.... if you scroll down, you will see that I was lacking footwear. While hiking that morning, we found a break in the trail that went through where the ocean normally is at high tide. Wll it was low tide so it was one giant mudflat.. hehe... guess who sank a bit. Oh and Zac? Not a spec of mud on him. I dont get it.
