Mt. Rainier

Today we decided to take a family trip up to Paradise and spend some time on the trails.  One uneventful drive and 45 minutes of searching for a parking space later we were at the trail-head and read to explore.





















Soon we were working on way up towards the skyline trail.  Lilly always in the lead and Camille keeping herself entertained with the back of my head.















After a half mile or so we climbed up to a bit of fog but being the hardcore hikers we are we endured the mistiness and continued our accent.

















Finally we broke out of the fog and right into the face of the mountain.  We stopped for a few pictures and enjoyed the view.

































I think we may have finally found an activity that actually wears Lilly out.  There may be a lot of hiking in our future.























After a unusually quite ride home and a quick stop for some ice cream we were back home.
