Drive to Mount Rainier

We had decided that we would go to a shooting range on Monday morning and shoot some of my dad's guns.  But when we got there it was only set up for long range shooting and so we couldn't shoot.  Without a plan my dad was thinking he would work on the boat but like all good children we begged him to take us up to Mount Rainier area so we could go on a hike.  After enough begging he relented and we began our adventure up to a lake near Rainier.

While on this drive the three kids were quite annoying... David, Stacey and I played corners... complained that we were touching each other... and in all other ways pretended we were still kids.  It was great fun.  I liked riding in my dad's truck like we did when we were kids and we tried to torture Amanda whenever we could.  

We got out and went on a hike around the lake.  It was cold up there... much more than we expected.  And it was very beautiful!

Right as we exited the National park David noticed some grouse (birds) along the road and since it was hunting season and he had a license ... he helped himself to two.  Cameron made a great retrieval of the birds and we had them the next day as dinner.  

 Later we stopped for shakes on the way home at Walleys.... and they did not ruin our appetite because Natalya made another great meal!   We ate it outside once again and then played liars dice which Amanda creamed us at!  How did the little sister become the best liar?
