After church on Sunday we headed for Mount Rainier.  What an adventure.  Anna Grace and Dana played in the snow, we saw beautiful scenery, we froze to death, we saw deer and wildlife.  Big fun!!!!

Nisqually Damn/Resevoir.  Picture taken about 5 miles before park entrance near the town of Elbe.

Driving through the forrest to Longmire. I loved seeing the snow covered fir trees/evergreens.

Longmire Lodge (museum?)

Once we left Longmire our drive got a bit treacherous.  It was not much further up the road when the mountain disappeared and a we had to drive through a small snowstorm.  I thought we wouldn’t be able to see the mountain again but when we reached Paradise, the clouds began to clear.
