Mount Rainier














We went yesterday and it was lots of fun :)

Long drive, but gorgeous. It got to 94 degrees here which is VERY hot for Washington, so we decided to head for the mountain.

There was tons of snow at the top the kids got to throw snow and go through tons of streams (from all the snow melting).

It was crazy to be in tank tops and shorts and be playing with snow too!!

Here's a shout out to Matti Parker for the super cute dress Breanna was wearing! (She made it for her when my hubby went out to Hawaii a few months ago). Very talented and awesome friend!

Rob and I went 4 years ago when I was pregnant with Breanna, so this was very fun to go do again, but it is quite different when you're going with 2 adults versus with 2 adults and 2 kiddos! Lots more involved. Snacks, bottles, pacifiers, sunscreen, toys, blankie, changes of clothes, diapers, wipes, water, more snacks, more treats for bribery, etc....

Over 4 hours of driving in one day is not the norm for our family, so THANKS kids for doing a pretty darn good job. (Thanks Ethan for sleeping for 2 out of the 4 hours b/c you were not happy with us when you would wake up and find out that we were still driving :)

We got to see beautiful waterfalls, tons of trees, flowers, a deer, beautiful country. Fun times. I love when we go on adventures!

What a pretty hike! I like how you guys are wearing such summery clothes and there is snow all around! PS I didn't realize that your hubby is so ripped...it kinda caught me off guard :)

That looks like a fun hike! We really want to go to the coast with you guys, so hopefully we can plan that soon.

Also, you need to get Rob to the gym. He's looking a little flabby. Ha ha. He looks awesome! Geez! I wish I was as dedicated as him.

One more thing, Nate sent Rob an email about a job opening with Pfizer in Tacoma as a sales rep. Just in case you guys want to stick around. :)

Yeah, my husband just wants to impress me with all his muscles :) JK! But he really has worked ALOT to get to where he is....

Not a bad deal for me either :)
