Mt.Rainier National Park

It was such a beautiful day. We drove up to the mountain with our friends and had a great time exploring and hanging out. One word of advice, if you go up there, don't forget your bug spray! We did, and I have these mosquito bites that are probably 3 inches in diameter and are raised an inch off my skin. We had to bum some spray from random strangers for the kids. :)

These are some of the shots of the amazing view driving up there.

She was loving the bumpy ride.

Snow in September!

We hiked down a trail toward Mowich Lake.

The water was as clear as glass.

Everyone had a great time playing in the water. We met a guy there who was doing a 93 mile hike on the Wonderland Trail. It was going to take him 10 days. He pre-stashed food at all the stops he would camp at along the way. We met him when he stopped where we were playing to dunk himself in the cold water for his "bath".

Which inspired our kids to dunk themselves.

 

 We had tons of fun. We will definately be going there again.

Loose Tooth

Lilli insisted that she wanted to try yanking her tooth out using the "slam the door" method. I tried to discourage this, since she is a bit dramatic, but she just HAD to do it. So we tied some floss around the wiggly tooth and tied the other end to the door knob.

The tooth did not come out.
 But we sure got a great laugh. :)

PS- ignore the makeup, she's not a working girl. She is just obsessed with "makeovers"
