Hi everybody, I'm so
glad to see you again.
00:00:01.98\00:00:03.47
Some of you may not know
yet but I live in Washington
00:00:03.50\00:00:07.69
State and one of the things
were most famous for is what
00:00:07.72\00:00:11.21
kids? - rain - rain because
we have been having a lot
00:00:11.25\00:00:14.71
the last few days.
00:00:14.74\00:00:16.24
You know what? It
makes for a really fun summer
00:00:16.27\00:00:19.00
afternoons, when you go to
the park, or you go on a hike
00:00:19.03\00:00:22.33
and look for bugs and slugs
and other wonderful things.
00:00:22.36\00:00:25.62
So I wondered, would
you like to come with us?
00:00:25.65\00:00:27.62
We would love to have you,
I'm driving the van and then
00:00:27.65\00:00:30.70
we're going to hit the road
and go out to a place called
00:00:30.73\00:00:33.74
Lewis and Clark's State Park.
00:00:33.78\00:00:35.73
Would you like to come? Come
on and find your place inside.
00:00:35.76\00:00:38.87
you got the front seat with me.
00:00:38.90\00:00:41.10
Is everybody in? - yeah.
- Is everybody buckled up?
00:01:01.03\00:01:04.17
- yeah. - all
right we're ready to go.
00:01:04.21\00:01:06.16
Let's get going now.
Hold on! Well now guess what?
00:01:06.19\00:01:12.99
I left my key in my pocket.
One time I was telling you
00:01:13.02\00:01:17.52
what I had my pockets, I
didn't have much but now I have
00:01:17.56\00:01:22.02
the key to the truck and it.
00:01:22.06\00:01:23.28
Alright let's go.
Ready? Hang on! Here we go.
00:01:23.32\00:01:27.39
Okay sing kids, you know
the song. Can't roller skate in
00:01:29.52\00:01:33.67
a buffalo herd. - can't
roller skate in a buffalo herd.
00:01:33.71\00:01:37.83
- you can't roller
skate in a buffalo herd.
00:01:37.86\00:01:40.90
- Oh you can't
skate in a buffalo herd.
00:01:40.93\00:01:43.89
But you can be happy if
you have a mind to, alright
00:01:43.93\00:01:47.64
we are on our way. - Woo hoo!
00:01:47.67\00:01:50.79
These cows are the most
outstanding in their field.
00:01:50.82\00:01:56.22
Ha-ha-ha-ha. - is
that a dumb joke or what?
00:01:56.26\00:01:59.19
How much longer? - well not
much longer, but just before
00:02:02.19\00:02:05.95
we get to the park there
is a historic log cabin and
00:02:05.98\00:02:08.69
I thought maybe you
would like to stop and visit.
00:02:08.73\00:02:11.40
Alright we'll do that. - yea!
00:02:11.44\00:02:14.61
Faster grandma
faster! - this is fun.
00:02:17.51\00:02:22.80
Do you know what the most
dangerous animal in Washington
00:02:24.72\00:02:27.69
is? - what? - it's the
Wiley, a Western Washington's
00:02:27.72\00:02:31.70
slug. - why? - well they
can hide out under leaves and
00:02:31.73\00:02:35.76
twigs and then all the sudden
they come thundering out of
00:02:35.80\00:02:39.06
the woods, a whole herd of
them and they can attack you if
00:02:39.09\00:02:42.31
you're not careful.
Have you ever heard of that?
00:02:42.35\00:02:45.32
- no - no well
I'll show you some.
00:02:45.35\00:02:47.81
Hey look there's the
cabin. - there it is.
00:02:49.40\00:02:53.66
It's the cabin -
Jackson House. Historic site.
00:02:53.70\00:02:57.30
You know a whole family
lived in this tiny space.
00:02:57.34\00:03:00.91
Shall we look
through the side window?
00:03:00.95\00:03:02.92
- there's an
upstairs. - let's go see.
00:03:02.95\00:03:04.85
Oh there's an
upstairs? Let's go see, come on.
00:03:04.89\00:03:07.31
Oh yeah the is, look up there!
00:03:10.00\00:03:11.16
Wouldn't that be
a cool room to have?
00:03:11.20\00:03:13.66
Yeah I would like
to sleep up there.
00:03:13.70\00:03:16.09
Tell you what I will
race you out to that tree.
00:03:16.13\00:03:19.03
Get ready, get set, go!
00:03:19.06\00:03:21.32
I think everybody's legs
are stretched now and we can
00:03:30.12\00:03:32.42
head down to the park.
Come on kids, time to go.
00:03:32.45\00:03:35.48
Wee, the winds
coming up. Oh how fun.
00:03:37.05\00:03:39.25
Let's go, let's
get a move on Huh.
00:03:41.96\00:03:44.46
Those slugs are
going to get away
00:03:44.49\00:03:46.96
from us if we don't hurry.
00:03:46.99\00:03:48.62
These are to catch - bugs
- bugs and slugs and other
00:03:52.06\00:03:56.56
Wiley Forrest
creatures, alright?
00:03:56.60\00:03:58.26
What are we going
to do put them down
00:03:58.30\00:03:59.93
and let the slugs?
00:03:59.97\00:04:01.74
You just sit there and
wait with a slug blind, have you
00:04:01.77\00:04:04.14
ever done that? - I'll
sit here for 10 minutes.
00:04:04.17\00:04:06.30
Oh at least, a least.
00:04:06.33\00:04:07.80
Alright let's head up the
trail and see what we can find.
00:04:07.84\00:04:10.77
You're going to need to look
under every leaf and a piece
00:04:10.81\00:04:13.70
of twig and just see
what ever is in the woods.
00:04:13.74\00:04:17.02
Ah, berries, look wild berries.
00:04:18.75\00:04:22.31
They're okay to eat but
they are not quite ripe,
00:04:22.35\00:04:25.02
they need to be
black, let the camera look.
00:04:25.05\00:04:26.89
Ah it's an olive green
one, isn't he beautiful?
00:04:32.72\00:04:35.18
What do you think guys? - yeah.
00:04:35.21\00:04:37.61
Don't you think
he's beautiful? - ah!
00:04:37.65\00:04:39.58
What about your hand
now? Oh look he's walking.
00:04:39.61\00:04:43.33
Yes he is and we
caught him in the open before
00:04:43.37\00:04:47.05
he thundered
off under the brush.
00:04:47.08\00:04:48.87
This is a snail, very much
like a slug but he has a shell.
00:04:48.91\00:04:53.11
Mine is huge. - these
are Forrest garbage men.
00:04:58.40\00:05:00.34
Help find me a slug.
00:05:00.37\00:05:03.29
- She can have this
one, because I have two.
00:05:03.32\00:05:05.59
Ed would you like that one?
I don't like slugs too much.
00:05:05.62\00:05:10.57
You don't, I can't imagine that.
00:05:10.61\00:05:12.84
My hand is all sticky.
00:05:17.42\00:05:18.66
I found another
one - get him, get him.
00:05:18.69\00:05:22.61
Ha, ha, I have nine slugs.
00:05:25.68\00:05:28.64
Well we obviously found a
lot of the state famous word and
00:05:29.28\00:05:33.39
now we are ready to go
down our trail, which we are
00:05:33.42\00:05:37.14
actually at the trailhead now.
00:05:37.17\00:05:38.61
What does that
say? - Old Growth Trail!
00:05:38.65\00:05:40.69
- What does that
mean? - old growth exactly.
00:05:40.73\00:05:45.25
That means that the trees
in this part of the forest are
00:05:45.29\00:05:47.98
really, really old and haven't
been logged for a very long
00:05:48.02\00:05:50.68
time, so we are
heading down the trail now.
00:05:50.71\00:05:53.13
Do you want to come along?
00:05:53.17\00:05:54.78
Come on let's go guys.
00:05:54.81\00:05:56.61
Oh, look at that limb.
00:05:56.64\00:05:58.40
This is like a huge tree.
00:06:02.07\00:06:04.60
Ah this is pretty,
look at all this nice Moss.
00:06:04.64\00:06:07.09
Oh there is more fun ahead
too. Come on let's keep going.
00:06:10.88\00:06:13.93
If we didn't have all this
nice rain we wouldn't have all
00:06:13.97\00:06:16.99
these beautiful things out here.
00:06:17.02\00:06:18.76
Grandma come back here with me.
00:06:28.92\00:06:31.08
- oh I don't know shall I?
00:06:31.12\00:06:33.26
There, alright. Which one
do you want me to take out?
00:06:50.16\00:06:52.44
Ah that one. - right
there? - Get it, get it.
00:06:52.48\00:06:58.33
Talk about stubborn,
pull, pull hard Rory.
00:06:58.37\00:07:04.15
Ah, there he is brand-new
and spanking wet behind the
00:07:04.19\00:07:10.49
ears. Where shall I put him?
00:07:10.52\00:07:12.23
At the starting line? - yeah.
00:07:12.26\00:07:13.93
Get ready, get set go!
00:07:15.89\00:07:17.73
Come on go, go.
00:07:27.40\00:07:29.78
He's winning, come on go.
00:07:34.79\00:07:36.92
Come on go, go, go.
00:07:39.11\00:07:41.56
Woo hoo, yea.
00:07:41.60\00:07:44.45
And the winner
is Robert, ta, dah.
00:07:44.49\00:07:48.88
Yea, Yea for Robert.
Look at him. He still champion
00:07:48.91\00:07:53.92
of the wild
West. Good for Robert.
00:07:53.96\00:07:56.87
Oh boy, you know what I
think I have had enough fun out
00:07:59.38\00:08:02.09
here for right now and I
want to head down to the shelter
00:08:02.13\00:08:04.80
down here and I think we
should eat some goldfish.
00:08:04.84\00:08:07.34
What do you think? -
yeah - let's go kids come on.
00:08:07.38\00:08:09.85
Now if you remember I
promised a treat of fish, I want
00:08:12.28\00:08:16.32
Rory, are you willing to
swallow a goldfish for me?
00:08:16.36\00:08:20.33
Okay, open your mouth and
close your eyes and you will get
00:08:20.37\00:08:26.19
a big surprise.
00:08:26.22\00:08:28.74
It's that kind of a
goldfish, they're crackers.
00:08:31.18\00:08:33.32
All right you guys you can
take your snack you must be
00:08:33.36\00:08:36.10
starving after all
this time out in the woods.
00:08:36.13\00:08:38.57
Oh yeah those
slugs kind of did it.
00:08:38.61\00:08:42.26
Do you want to
hop down with yours?
00:08:44.61\00:08:46.09
Alright there you go.
00:08:46.12\00:08:49.09
Have a good snack there.
00:08:51.38\00:08:54.26
I just love grandma.
00:08:54.29\00:08:57.10
Hey guys do you want to
play follow the leader? - yeah.
00:08:57.13\00:09:00.98
Alright and follow me
as I do, are you ready?
00:09:01.01\00:09:03.43
Line up and let's go.
00:09:03.47\00:09:04.96
In the water whoa.
00:09:38.48\00:09:40.25
About face, about face.
00:09:41.52\00:09:45.47
Here we go again let's march.
00:09:51.02\00:09:52.62
Over hill over Dale we
will hit the dusty trail.
00:09:54.58\00:09:57.94
Right here we will
call it a halt, halt.
00:09:57.98\00:10:01.24
Ah we're having a blast
out here, but you know what?
00:10:01.27\00:10:07.16
It's about time to go and
before we do I want you guys to
00:10:07.19\00:10:09.84
have a chance to
write down my address.
00:10:09.88\00:10:11.85
So if you are ready get
a paper and a pencil and
00:10:11.88\00:10:15.78
here is, write it down.
00:10:15.81\00:10:17.46
Here we go come on
forward. Hup, Hup, Hup.
00:10:18.59\00:10:21.30
Hey kids Graham Joyce
would love to hear from you.
00:10:26.13\00:10:29.24
So why not sit down
and write her a letter?
00:10:29.28\00:10:31.75
Like every grandma
she loves to get pictures,
00:10:31.79\00:10:34.23
drawings or
anything else you sent her.
00:10:34.27\00:10:37.17
Just write to:
00:10:37.21\00:10:38.44
So what are you
waiting for? Write her today.
00:10:49.64\00:10:52.47
Know what, I'm going to
let you in on a little secret.
00:10:56.60\00:10:59.59
The outing we had planned
for today was actually supposed
00:10:59.62\00:11:02.57
to be a trip to the beach.
00:11:02.61\00:11:04.41
All of us were so
looking forward to going there.
00:11:04.44\00:11:07.01
We were going to build sand
castles and hunt for starfish
00:11:07.05\00:11:09.65
and sand dollars.
00:11:09.68\00:11:11.58
We had kites ready to fly
and our swimsuits were ready.
00:11:11.61\00:11:14.87
It was a real disappointment
when the skies turned gray
00:11:14.90\00:11:18.12
and rainy and we
had to change our plans.
00:11:18.16\00:11:20.86
But I'm so grateful
for my adaptive grandkids.
00:11:20.90\00:11:24.46
They were pretty sad
when we couldn't go but they
00:11:24.50\00:11:27.99
cheerfully accepted a change
of plans like real troopers.
00:11:28.02\00:11:31.42
We went out in the rain and
had a fantastic time anyway.
00:11:31.45\00:11:34.97
I've got to warn you though,
life is like that sometimes.
00:11:35.00\00:11:38.52
You know sometimes we get
our hearts set on something
00:11:38.56\00:11:42.05
wonderful and
then the unexpected
00:11:42.08\00:11:44.45
happens and changes everything.
00:11:44.48\00:11:46.78
Sometimes it's not too big
a deal like having to make fun
00:11:46.81\00:11:49.67
in the rain instead of
spending a day at the beach.
00:11:49.71\00:11:52.65
Other times it might be
something really important.
00:11:52.69\00:11:56.27
All kinds of strange things
can happen in our world and
00:11:56.31\00:11:59.86
its good to be
ready for anything.
00:11:59.89\00:12:01.82
You know the Boy Scouts
say, always be prepared!
00:12:01.86\00:12:05.77
God is like that,
always prepared I mean.
00:12:05.81\00:12:09.55
He had such wonderful plans
for our world when He first
00:12:09.58\00:12:13.28
created it, it was so
beautiful and perfect back then.
00:12:13.31\00:12:16.96
And now we can hardly imagine
what it was like in the very
00:12:16.99\00:12:20.61
beginning, but
something awful happened
00:12:20.64\00:12:24.12
and changed everything.
00:12:24.15\00:12:25.74
In an instant we went from
living and learning for ever
00:12:25.77\00:12:28.36
to just getting old and dying.
00:12:28.39\00:12:30.86
Oh, what a disappointment.
00:12:30.90\00:12:33.30
Well it broke God's heart
to see His perfect plan ruined.
00:12:33.33\00:12:37.17
But He had another plan ready
just in case He ever needed it.
00:12:37.21\00:12:41.02
And boy He needed it now.
00:12:41.05\00:12:42.77
God sent Jesus to
rescue each one of us and
00:12:42.81\00:12:47.02
His lovely world from ruin.
00:12:47.06\00:12:49.01
Jesus made it possible for
us to someday go back to the
00:12:49.05\00:12:52.79
beginning and start all over
again with a brand-new Earth.
00:12:52.83\00:12:56.32
This time there won't be
any devil to mess everything up.
00:12:56.36\00:12:59.82
We will have
brand-new hearts like Jesus and
00:12:59.85\00:13:02.50
we will never mess up again.
00:13:02.54\00:13:05.18
But here is the thing you have
to decide that, that is what
00:13:05.22\00:13:08.72
you want to do, and it is
not always easy to follow the
00:13:08.75\00:13:12.22
pathway marked out in the Bible.
00:13:12.25\00:13:14.55
Well here's a hint that helps
me over the rough spots when
00:13:14.59\00:13:18.63
I might be tempted to give up.
00:13:18.66\00:13:21.14
It's just a little bit
of a song you probably know.
00:13:21.17\00:13:24.19
I've taken it from my
very own and it goes like this:
00:13:24.23\00:13:27.21
I have decided to follow Jesus
00:13:27.25\00:13:32.26
I have decided to follow Jesus.
00:13:32.29\00:13:36.51
I have decided to follow Jesus!
00:13:36.55\00:13:40.53
no turning
back, no turning back.
00:13:40.56\00:13:44.48
Why don't you try it the next
time you're tempted and remember
00:13:44.51\00:13:48.34
I love you a bushel and
a peck, a bushel and a peck
00:13:48.37\00:13:52.78
and a hug around the neck.
00:13:52.81\00:13:54.93
Doodle, doodle,
doodle, doodle, doodle, doodle,
00:13:54.96\00:13:58.45
doodley, doodley do.
00:13:58.48\00:14:01.19
Did you know slugs have
ity bity eyes and big antennas?
00:14:01.22\00:14:06.37
Singing in the rain,
just singing in the rain.
00:14:06.41\00:14:09.71
I don't like slugs.
00:14:09.75\00:14:15.81
Oowe slimy
00:14:15.85\00:14:21.85
I don't know why
the girls don't like me.
00:14:21.89\00:14:24.86
I hope their not leaches.
00:14:24.89\00:14:28.62
