Camping at Mount Rainier

Jillian, Kendall and the grandkids roped mom and I into camping. They wanted to go to Mount Rainier. So Monday and Tuesday we did the primative life style.

We had two absolutely beautiful days. The road was block to Sun Rise, so we hiked and did all of our sight seeing on the south side of the mountain.

We hiked around Paradise, Silver Falls and the Grove of the Patriarchs. Kamden and Carter did really good. Although Carter hitched a ride most of the time.

We camped at Ohonakopoch. We had somemores, hot dogs, chips, and of course dutch oven pineapple upside down cake.

On Tuesday after hiking to Silver fall and back we hike the Grove of the Patiarchs. The Bridge was out from a Flood they had on Nov. 6th 2006. After several day of steady rain they got 18 inch in one day. You could tell it was quite high at one point. Damaged the bridge. As you could see from the picture. They allowed one person at a time to across. It took along time to cross because there was a large family infront of us.

Coming back Jillian and I brought Kamden and Carter across the bridge. Everyone else crossed the river.

After hiking we had lunch and came home.
