When we got back for of family vacation, the girls were still on cloud 9 about Volcanoes. All day long Grace would talk about volcanoes asking when would be the next time we could go see a volcano. Monday was a gorgeous day and since we were sure this would be the last sunny day of Autumn (not quite) we decided to drop everything and go explore Mt. Rainier. The last time we went to Mt. Rainier (my birthday, when we bought our national park pass that started this whole national parks adventure) it was cloudy and we couldn't see the summit. This time we had our fingers crossed to see some beautiful views.
On our way we passed a cute little produce stand that we decided to check out. The Sales lady was so nice she even gave the kids quarters to feed the goats. We purchased some yummy pears, apples and cucumbers to snack on during our journey to Rainer.
As we continued on our drive we saw a beautiful lake that had to be explored. We spend an hour playing by the lake side.

At the Visitor center we picked up some Jr. Ranger Guide workbooks and had lots of fun on a scavenger hunt.

By the end of the day the kids were tired and a bit cranky. We drove to Pulluyap and ate dinner before driving the rest of the way home. It was a very beautiful day.
