The Other Hills Are Alive Too


Once SoM was over we headed to the hills ourselves.Our first two free Saturdays were spent hiking. We are so blessed to live close to beautiful scenery. The first weekend we went to Naches Peak, where we hiked to the top of a ridge. The kids were so excited that they hiked to the top of a mountain.


All the kids made that face in the pictures. Too bright I guess.
Second weekend was Grand Park at Mt. Rainier. 

Grant kept complaining that his legs were tired. Hmmm....


Grand Park was amazing. We hiked 4 miles up to a high meadow that opens up to Mt. Rainier and 4 miles back down. It was gorgeous but a tough hike for the kids. 


We did see a bear here. I have to say I love seeing animals while hiking but the bear was a bit close for comfort. Close enough that we had to make sure to make noise for quite a while. The Lonely Goatherd came in handy.

Wonderful family time!
