James and Ashton visiting

James and Ashton caught a standby airplane flight and came to visit for a few days.  They even got to bring Molly the dog with them.

Doranda and her family were staying at our house too so they had plenty of cousins to play with.  James and Tucker and Leon at the playground.  Monkey bars are no trouble for them.

 One day we went out to Mt. Rainier so they got to hike in and play among some really massive trees.


 There's nothing better for a kid they hiking in the woods.

 Ashton crossing a foot bridge at Cougar Rock across a glacial stream.


 Hiking in the boulders washed down by a glacier long ago.


 James crossing the foot bridge.  No problems.


 View point of a small waterfall at the top of a steep trail.


 On the way back down James and Scarlett got to be the leaders all the way.


 At Narada Falls James and Ashton wanted to go all the way to the bottom and they asked and asked and asked until they talked us all into it.  It was not easy crossing the river and climbing the rocks, but we were careful and the waterfall was definitely worth a difficult climb.


How often do you get to stand behind a waterfall.  We're glad James and Ashton got to come visit.  They're great kids and we enjoyed having them join us.
