Mt Rainier

We decided, what the heck, let's take the new car to Rainier, and we'll meet up with Kevin and Jessica. Old (and a new) friends for a hike, and we'll time it for their naps.

If you have kids, you know that timing naps is impossible. Made more impossible the more you need the naps to coordinate.

A nice fall day, 75degrees, what a day.

That was a long hike mommy, I am going to take a nap, make sure Lu doesn't see me sleeping.

If I can sneak up on Q, I can just say: "wakeup wakeup wakup wakup"

WAKEUP WAKEUP WAKEUP WAKEUP WAKEUP WAKEUP Q!

Daddy, she always does that. You were on watch! F for effort daddy, I need my beauty sleep.

Q on the back of Kevin, with wife Jessica, in for a quick visit. Kevin went to high school with uncle Michael, and met his wife in college. I was looking for the whistling Marmot who was trying to eat my gawk.

Daddy I can climb too.

Pass the chalk, I'm going need it for this crack. I am bouldering at age 2.

Mommy I love you, now give me some milk before Lucy knocks over more rock piles.

HMMM, now how can we get Michael John out here. Huddle up and let's make a plan.

Jessica, you blindfold Michael and Kevin can kidnap him to the airport. perfect.
