Mt. Rainer

Today we took the boys up to Mt. Rainer. It's one of the mountains right out our back door. It's been pretty cool living in this area and having so many neat places to explore. We wanted the boys to see the mountain and we also wanted to go and play in the snow.

We got up early this morning and headed out. We were expecting another snow front to come in around late afternoon so we needed to get up there and get down before it came in.

We had a great time. Let me just say that there was ALOT of snow!

Up the mountain we went and just as we turned the corner and discussing if the roads were too bad for us to continue on up the mountain we saw 2 young men walking towards us. We stopped and asked them if they needed help and they were like yes. We are stuck. Well, they were coming down the mountain and being a bit careless and slid into the snow embankment.

We all piled out of the truck and began working to them free. It didn't take but 2 tries and wa la they were out of the snow! :)

Off we headed up the mountain. We did decide to head on up to the sledding area.

We turned the corner and there is a red fox... man was it beautiful....

Off we go after a few pictures and wishing we could trick her to come and join us in the car. Dwayne continued to say how he wished he could bring her home.

Once we arrived at the top of the mountain we saw another fox this time he was black and gray. Man it was just one of those cool days when we got to see so many cool things !
Oh and we saw deer and elk.... too!

so enjoy the pictures!

We are off to enjoy some Mexican food.. Yummy in our tummies!
