Catch Up 2

 

May 2012

 

Jon and I were able to get a ride with a friend to Moses Lake to go see Jon's sister get baptised.  Jon had the privledge of performing the baptism.  He was extremely honored to do it.  My friend Tina bought this nice bright yellow camaro.  The same car as Bumble Bee on Transformers.  Jon loves this car, so we took pictures with it.

 

 

 

Thanks Tina for letting us ride with you in your sweet car. ;)

 

For Memorial Day weekend all of my siblings got together for a camping trip since we couldn't get together for Memorial Day.  We went up to Mt. Rainier National Park and camped at Ohanepecosh.  We had an entire camping area to ourselves.  No neighbors.  It was so nice to get to visit and spend some time together.  Friday night we all arrived, set up camp and just spent the evening around the campfire.

 

 

 

Jon and I took 2 of Emily's kids down to the river.  It's too dark to see the river behind us.

On Saturday we hiked up to Silver Falls.  With it being so early in the year Silver Falls was so big.  I have never seen it that big.  It was a nice hike.  Jon carried Thomas on his back the whole way so that summer wouldn't have to carry him.

All of us ready to head out for the rest of the day.  We had such a good time with everyone.  Jon and I loved it.  We hope to be able to do it again.  Thank you everyone so much for making our time so enjoyable.

 

 

After we left Ohanapecosh, Lisa and Jamie's family and Jon and me went to see the Grove of the Patriarchs.  Jon had never been there and Lisa couldn't ever remember when she went as a young girl.  So we had so much fun seeing all the big trees.

 

 

 

We loved the suspension bridge.  It's almost like a fun ride.

 

We loved how huge the trees were

After Grove of the Patriarchs Lisa and Jaime left to go home.  I wanted to take Jon up to Paradise to see the base of Mt. Rainier.  It had been kinda cloudy the whole morning, so we weren't sure how the weather was going to be.  But I wanted him to be able to see the mountain up close, so we took a chance.  There was so much snow.  When we walked around I would sink down to my knees and still not be touching the ground.  It was fun to see so much snow.  When we got there, we had great weather.  It was so good, Jon even hiked up to a really tall peak.  He loved it.

 

 

 

Look how deep the snow is
