Trip to Mt. Rainier

We've lived here for 3 years and this is the first time that we've gone up to Mt. Rainier. It only took us about 45 minutes to make it up to the gate park so I think we'll be going again. It was a beautiful day up on the mountain and we took a lot of pictures. Here's a few of them.




I don't know who the guy on the right is, but I laugh every time I see the pic.


The Nisqually glacier is in the background.


Once we got up to Paraside, Dottie and I hiked up a little way (mostly with her on my shoulders) to see the meadow and a better view of the mountain. The mountain kept getting covered up by clouds, but the meadows were pretty.





Dottie took this picture.


Can you find Megan and Dottie?



We got some good views of the mountain on the drive down.






Overall it was a great day. Can't wait to go back up.

riding bikes

with out training wheels!!! We have been working with Emma to teach her to ride her bike with no success. So I finally just let her go out there and do it herself. Well after about an hour getting comfortable with the bike and watching the neighbor girl, Emma came riding down the street on her bike all by her self. Jordan and I should have known to just let her to it on her own .. that's just Emma.
