Chism Park
We had a fun picnic with David and Rebekah and the girls at Chism Park. The boys had fun swimming with grandma in the lake! I also saw an Eagle swoop down and grab a fish at the park. So cool.
Mt. RainierRoad trip to the Mountain one more time! Dad and Mom already went up once with Janet. But I was dying to go and they could never say no to the mountain! What a great day we had! The sun came out and the drive was glorious!
Perfect lunch spot in the sunny woods! It even smelled good! Fresh clean evergreen air...does that make sense?

Of course we had to stop at the bend in the river....It has no name...it is just that one spot that we all love. It is around that one corner on your way up to the mountain top. This time the bend has changed alittle. The rock bed is not as smooth and is much smaller. But still beautiful.
Mom and I made this cool rock pile. Pretty cool...:-)
The boys crossing the river....so cold....I tried and I could not take the cold water...it hurt so much. I must be getting old.
What a cute couple.
We thought our Uncle who worked for Caterpillar would like this. We stopped on the side of the road when we saw it and had to take a photo. A CAT with a view!
Look Mom I can touch the top of the Mountain!
Grandpa getting that perfect shot of the pretty flowers!
I let Andrew and Vincent take a few photos with my camera.
There is a new visitors center and they have some cool new steps with a quote on it. 
We found a great short hike on the way down from the lodge. It was uncrowded and the meadow flowers were so beautiful! Mom was waiting in the car while we explored. Her feet were hurting her. But I had to have her see this....she was very very happy she walked up the path with me. It was what we hope Heaven is like! Perfect!
Vincent and Andrew climbing the stream. Vincent climbed quite a ways up, then ran down the path. Oh to be young again. Mom was very jealous of Vincent being able to frolic and run in this wonderful place. Frolic was her word... :-)
Mom in her little bit of Heaven.
Good bye Mt. Rainier! We love you!

It must have been and great place to visit back them...so untouched by people and so many more wild animals to see.

Good bye Mt. Rainier! We love you! I have more photos if you ever miss her...I took about 300 on this trip. Hard to pick my favorites for this post. Lucky you I narrowed it down a lot.
Lake Washington on a Boat!
Lake Washington on a Boat!David took us on a short trip on his new sail boat. Rebekah was home sick..poor thing. We had a good time with David and the girls!
Gary did not want to go out on the boat. So he stayed on the beach and strange people wound up talking to him. Maybe next time he will come out with us. He hates to be stuck some where, were he can't leave when he wants.
Thank you David! Hope you feel better Rebekah! We missed you!
