Wednesday!

On Wednesday we went up to Rainier.  It is a beautiful drive up there, and there are so many great hikes.  We love it up there. This is one of the many views of Rainier that you get.  The week they were here was sunny and warm and the sky was perfectly clear.

 First we went to Silver Falls, which is a great waterfall. Very beautiful, one of my favorite things is the crystal clear water that is soo amazing to see.

 Our hike. Becky is an awesome photo bomber!

 !Brody!- need I say more

 Cute picture of the family, with Micah making her goofy faces.

 Clay and I- Brody only wanted to do the tough boy picture.

 This is my moms favorite hike and after we stopped for lunch we headed on down the trail.  It is the Grove of the Patriarchs.  It is very beautiful and the trees are so big.

 This is the bridge that you get to cross.  Because of safety you can only cross one at a time.  It is a very bouncy bridge.

 This is the coolest root ball.  Probably one of the most photographed as well.  It is really fun to climb in and its sooo big how can it not be.

 We sat down to relax for a little bit and watch a chipmunk.  It was hanging out with all the people trying to get some food, I think.

 Family pics with the big trees.

 Hiking with the family!

 Photo bomb!!

Another view of the mountain!  It really is amazing.

 Up at Paradise there is still a bit of snow so of course we had a little snow ball fight.  Well the kids did, and I took photographic evidence of it.

By the time we were done at the Visitor Center it was getting later so we decided to head home for the day.  It was another long day but it was another fun day as well!
