Today we delved further into the Olympic Peninsula! It is amazing here. The green is so deep a green and so verdant for want of a better word. We have been lucky with the rain. It has rained at night fairly hard but nothing really during the day while we are out doing things. There is a misty feel to the air all the time though and moss grows on everything! If you sit still for longer than a few minutes, I think you can feel the moss starting to encroach on you! Today we walked to a waterfall. It was really pretty and a great chance to stretch our legs out a little. Levi climbed on things, trees, fence posts, his brothers and was a bit like the moss. If you sat still for too long he would start to climb. I think that is his version of stretching his legs! The water in the creeks is crystal clear but punishingly cold! Levi and Ross thought that they might swim at one point but it was too cold even for those die hard swimmers! 
At one point this baby bird tried to fly out of the tree beside the RV. It had to catch it's breath on the top because he really needs a lot of practice before he becomes proficient!
At the end of the day we camped at the Sol Duc Hot Springs. They are really hot and are artificially cooled so we can swim. They are very developed hot springs, with changing rooms and tiled edges, but perfect for an afternoon soaking! Levi said they smelled like rotten eggs and he was correct in that! The hot showers afterward were wonderful though after days of campgrounds with cold or lukewarm showers!
