The day we went to the rain forest appropriately enough it rained and rained and rained and rained. David's warning about not wearing cotton was very appropriate! It was a very gloomy day but the hiking pigs had fun. (Mom and the sisters in law were smart and dry at the beach house) It was a great hike that took us through the beautiful forest. The trees were unbelievably tall and there were lots of pockets of fall colors amongst the evergreens. The rain gave the whole place an otherworldly feel the day we were there.
After our hike we were told by the lady at the visitors center that some of the biggest trees in the world were nearby. We drove out and saw a couple. The coolest one was the cedar tree. It was almost completely hollow inside. We were all able to stand it it quite comfortably.
On the way home Dad offered to buy us all a drink. We all got our drinks then dad remember he didn't have his wallet. (He did pay back though!) It was a great first day of the reunion.

That was a great hike. I am glad we got at least one good day of rain in the rain forest other wise you would think it did not rain there. That hollow tree was the best. Who would have thought you could fit 6 full grown pigs in one tree.
This was a great hike and a good time was had by all pigs there. Some of us cotton wearing pigs were a little cooler then the non cotton wearing ones, but stayed mostly dry and I really enjoyed the scenery and loved the cedar tree. Still hard to believe it is so big and standing with most of its insides gone. It was fun to see Charlies expression when I stuck my head out of the truck of the tree.
This post brings back a very fun day all over again. Thanks for posting Dan. We did have a great time in the rain forest as we did everywhere else!
I had one of the most wonderful weeks of my life. It is a great idea for my little piggies to get together. It did my mother's heart good to be with all of you. (It was good to be able to spend time with Shelby, Matthew, Libby; Katie, Emma and Chas, too) I enjoyed, very much, the afternoon I spent at the beach house with my wonderful daughters-in-law.
Tons of fun!
