Grayson and Mark hanging out at the lodge playing Uno
Jonna was impressed with the "green" soap at the lodge
- it had no center since most people use it only once that part gets thrown away
Darby by the neat piano at the lodge
Mark standing in the parking lot of the lodge before our morning hike
The trail head for the climb to Mt. Rainier begins with steps and a quote by John Muir
On our way up
Darby is enjoying this perfect day!
The temperature was perfect and even though there was snow it wasn't cold
Jonna, Darby, and Grayson climbed this ridge - it is a lot higher than it looks!
Fire Power!
Mark catapults a snow ball at Grayson
Mt. Adams on the horizon
The kids slid down this hill on their jackets
Jonna running back after her slide down the ridge
Wow! The view on our hike back down
Darby and Jonna resting...
We came upon this baby fox on the side of the road and he wasn't afraid of us at all
Another spectacular view
Darby, Mark, and Grayson at Reflection Lake
This old tree trunk has rings dating back to the 1200s
Darby and Grayson are sworn in as Junior Rangers
The view of Mt. Rainier from the National Park Inn at Longmire in Mt. Rainier
Finally arrived in Anchorage
