Rampart Ridge, Mt. Rainier National Forest

Happy 4th of July!

We spent our first half of the day hiking at Mt. Rainier National Forest.

It was a great day, followed by a delicious bbq and fireworks with new friends.

at last! at last! summer is officially here!

Current favorite quote!

“I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.
I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.
I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.
I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
― Marjorie Pay Hinckley
