Mount Rainier






We were able to spend a beautiful day at Mt. Rainier on Sunday. We live only about one hour away from the parks but it took us 3 hours to get there. On our way there was a very bad car and motorcycle accident where one person died. The wait was two hours. So we turned around and went down to the river and played for a while. After a couple of hours we were able to get through and continued on our way. At one point we had to stop for a herd of elk. They were beautiful. Once we got up to Paradise it was late afternoon. We took one of the trails and as we came around the bend there was a large brown bear grazing in the grass. The pictures we took don't show the actual distance between us and the bear, but we were very close. Colton wanted to pet it so we had to get going. Then we saw a dear up close and had a bird land on Logan's finger. It was a fun and gorgeous day.
