Pictures of the kids in the snow on Mt Rainier, the mountain stands alone and some elk roadside.
We stayed for several days in Spokane where the riverfront park provided some fun with it's huge water fountain and rides. It was hot here at 100 degrees. I had no idea the weather was so blistering in Washington. I found out however that the eastern part of the state gets very little rain and is almost desert like. Something about being in the rain shadow of the mountains.
John and Gabe went to a MX park and enjoyed riding in the heat. This park gets the "best so far" award by both of them. The skatepark in Spokane was really cool as well.
Our next stop was Mt Rainier which lies in the middle of the state. We finally got to see how Washington weather can be. It has been raining off and on for four days. The mountain afforded us a beautiful view and a chance to hike at a strenuous pace. It was very foggy on Mt Rainier and had we not hiked up past the lodge we would not have gotten to see the immense glaciers that cover this volcano. It was spectacular and the kids really seemed to enjoy the work it took to get there. Jadon said it made her feel strong. They got to play in snow and Bowen even slid on his belly like a penguin.
On our way home from the park we saw at least 100 elk at different places along the road. The were enormous and very at home here in Washington.
Yesterday we drove to our current location just south of Seattle. We are looking forward to checking out this trendy city.
Sending our love to our family who is riding out the storm in Florida

We are next to you every step of the way. I am really missing my big sister and my babies, but I am so happy for you guys. I love telling everyone I can about what you all are doing and hear them say how amazing that is. The kids will never be the same again. Are you sure you will ever be able to settle down after such a great adventure. I don't know if I would be able to. Can't wait to hear were you are off to next. Love you!!
