The next morning we headed into the town of Forks for breakfast and to watch the parade. Amazingly enough the parade was great and Archie behaved himself. After the parade we went back out to La Push (the indian reservation about 15 mins fromthe town) to set up the tent and meet up with the rest of Owen's family. It was at this point windy (to the point we had to put big rocks inside the tent to stop it from blowing away) and still drizzling.
We were hanging out and bon-fireing right on the beach so Archie and Aaron headed down to check out the surf. Owen's family had either cabins or campers to keep dry.
Aren't they super cute! Note the fabulous clear blue sky overhead.
Headed toward the water to check out the waves.
Nobody wants to get wet when the weather is this crappy.
Archie is definately not going back to the water.
This was a trip of lessons for us: rent a cabin or a hotel room if you're going back to the wettest area in the continental united states (this is scientific fact), bring several layers and rain gear, and most importantly... Archie is terrified of fire works. Since La push in an indian reservation, there are no rules on the size of explosives you can set off here. They started about noon and kept increaseing in frequency and intensity as it got darker. By about 6pm Archie was pooped from being on edge all day.
Turns out rain, a soaked tent, two people who haven't slept well for 36 hours and a dog that has completely lost his mind are a bad combination. We left the beach at about 10pm in what seemed to be a war zone and spent another night in the park and ride in Forks before heading home at 7am.
