Day Three with the folks!

After breakfast on day three, we decided to head to the mountain. Yes, Mt. Rainier. You cannot come to Washington State & not see Mt. Rainier. It was a gorgeous day to go drive to 5400 feet elevation. Mt. Rainier is 14, 410 feet high. It is a huge active volcano!
On the way up the mountain, we stopped off at Narada Falls, inside Mt. Rainier National Park, for a picnic lunch. We were entertained by a bluejay while we were munching down on sandwiches, chips, fruit & Rice Krispy Treats...mmm!

At the bottom of the falls was a beautiful rainbow. This was Josiah's first rainbow sighting & he knew exactly what it was as soon as he saw it!

What a great adventure that will always be remembered by all five of us!

I have to say that I'm a bit jealous of the gorgeous places you guys live so close to and get to see all the time. You are truly blessed!!
