Dad + Kelseys = Summer Fun

Imagine our surprise when we heard from both my Dad and our friends the Kelseys that they were coming to visit us the last weekend in July. We were excited to have them both and we knew we would have a good time. First my Dad arrived and the boys and my Dad all headed up to Mt Rainer for the day. We love Mt Rainer park and there are all sorts of wonderful hiking trails to explore. 

 

Except when we got to the lodge, we were surpised to see all the hiking trails closed due to snow!

We decided to make the most of it and Grandpa and the boys had a snowball fight.

And another!

 


After Mt Rainer, we headed to Vancouver, WA for some fresh crab

Well, looks like fun glad to finally see some pictures. I may have to go there the next time I come I think to the mountain that is.
Looks like Dad had a lot of fun.
