We all went to Mt. Rainier today when Eden woke up- first to Sunrise, which Courtney and I had never visited. A bit cloudy, but little Tahoma peak was visible and the mountain came out at points. We did a little walk along the service road since all of the trails are still pretty deep in snow.
The picture is of Courtney and Eden along that road with little Tahoma peak and a stream in the background. Sorry, Courtney- I took two and your eyes were closed in both.
After a few brief stops along the Sunrise road and me picking up an Israeli hitchhiker, we drove down to the Grove of the Patriarchs where we ran into all of the people we met at Sunrise including said hitchhiker. The other photo is of Eden and I in the grove by the edge of the largest tree. You'll have to believe us on that, the tree is really big. We'll go back again later this summer to the rest of the park, hopefully this will include video of Eden climbing Mt. Rainier or walking the 93 mile long Wonderland trail.
I loved all the blog stuff--movies, photos, stories---now if it will let me comment--tried without success once. Love, Grandma
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you... combined with the giant map, you're training her to drag you either around or up the mountain. Good luck. =)

Hmm, so you're saying we shouldn't hang the Rainier map in her room...
