We had a great day at Mount Rainier today. The fall color was amazing, and the kids had a blast on their first real hike. The four of us hopped on the Van Trump/Comet Falls trail on the south side of Mount Rainier National Park. It was 1.8 miles basically straight up to Comet Falls (not that great of a falls), and then another 1.8 back to the car. I've included some of our pictures from the hike, and we finished up the day up at the Paradise Visitor Center, and trails leading out from there. Probably the last fall day until Rainier gets buried under a truckload of snow.
Josh, Nicole, and Ashley making their way down the trail.

The view from the trail above the Visitor Lodge at Paradise. It was incredible today!
A waterfall along the trailhead that we took today. Very pretty!
Same waterfall with a couple others included from the hike.
Ashley enjoying the ride on Mommy's back on the way down the trail! Daddy carried her all the way up! He's getting old and sore....hahahaha!
Josh and Daddy taking some time on the way down to get some nice pictures!
Mom, Ashley, and Josh enjoying the killer view. Plus, the kids got to eat snow. I'm sure that's all they'll talk about now.

Beans getting the closeup while riding in the backpack. Sweeeet.
Until our next post, hope the weekend went great for everybody!

Very ambitious of you to take up the trail with the two little ones. Hikes like that is what makes living in Washington so great I suppose. We ventured out with the baby and bulldog for the first time today on a walk around the neighborhood. Doesn't quite compare.
