Day 6

This post will be written by Ehlana:
hi. today was cool. we got up. we drove to the woods. we hiked to second beach at La Push. then we drove again. now we're staying at a cool place. with a fire place. and three rooms. exciting.
Just Kidding!!! ;D It was actually really cool. We did drive to La Push, and hiked up to second beach. There we saw star fish, anemanemanemanies (some looked like bog of eternal stenches), crabs, hermit crabs (a lot of them to!), and a funky 21 legged starfish called a sun starfish (as far as we know...).
But the most exciting thing in La Push was.....Otters!!! Sea Otters to be exact. they were ssooooo cute!!! they swam as a group to some far away rocks, but one caught something and was eating it on a rock about 50 feet away from us! he was adorable! We left second beach and on the way back we saw a huge slug; and he was ugly, big (at least three inches), and yellow!
We were eating lunch at some picnic tables in the Hoh rain forest when we saw an elk standing a few yards away from the trail and it had a baby that was even closer! my dad took pictures and it was cool! the baby was cute. it sat down and the mom looked like she didn't know where it went! (keep reading and at the end I will tell you more about this)
When we got to the time share we left our bags in the room and went to the beach. there were some seagulls (chad: geese!) along the shore. Then we saw something strange on the beach; geese (chad: seagulls!(inside joke, chad will get it.)). Toniann, Lalenia, and I followed them as they wobbled on the shore. After a while I was the only one still walking with them, but they didn't mind. They would walk a little faster when I came to close, but other than that I was able to stay a few feet away without them careing. then we came back and went to bed. exciting.
extras on the elk: my dad walk far from where the elk was to take pics of the marsh (staying a lot farther away from the elk then we were) when she suddenly started chaseing him! he was about three times as far from the elk as we were so we couldn't figure out why she was chaseing him. He walked towards the car again, using a passing car as a sheild so she stopped for a while, but started again. by the time he got to the car she wasn't chaseing him anymore, she had turned to chaseing passing cars instead. I guess something spooked her.

The End. Exciting.
