BEAUTIFUL MT. RAINER...

Paradise inn...closed for the winter! Snow up to the guest room windows!A full parking lot!
We stayed overnight at the Longmire Inn...then had a really yummy breakfast...omlettes, scones, and juice and headed up to the mountain...

This is what we saw when we came around the corner...

The parking lot was packed and they had some awesome sledding hills for the kiddos...we thought of Halle, Cole, William, and Andrew...

Here we are just starting out on our snowshoes up the mountain...

It was a long climb....

Getting closer...

A breathtaking view!

Stopping for a snack...
Another beautiful view of the mountain... the sky was so blue!

And another....
And another...without the guy in the glasses!

The end of the afternoon and the fog finally setting in. A perfect day!
