Memorial Day at Mt. Baker

One thing we like the best about our church, is how nice the people are. One family invited us to spend the weekend with them at their cabin at Mt. Baker. It took us about an hour and a half to get there and the scenery was great! The only bad thing was that Oliver got carsick and threw up 3 times! We were happy to finally arrive.

After we unpacked, we all went for a hike.

We get such a kick out of Naomi because she is so girly! This is how she hikes: sunglasses, boots, dress.

We hiked down to the water and the boys found some fossils.

The views were amazing!

I love this man!

Mr. Don was teaching the boys the fine art of throwing things in the water and watching them float away.

Jacob found some awesome treasures.

The boys explored all over and Oliver was right with them.

Naomi just had fun with a stick. She would hit the water with it and then laugh every time it splashed her.

For dinner we made our own kabobs-they were delish!

In the evening we made a fire.

Mr. Don showed the boys how to whittle a stick to cook our treats with.

Then they taught us to make wampoms. You wrap a biscuit on your stick and cook it. Then you dip it in butter and roll it in cinnamon and sugar.

After a great night sleep and a yummy breakfast we headed out to see the waterfall. When we got there, Oliver fell in love with another mini poodle named Juliet.

The waterfall was awesome. It is amazing how loud and powerful the water is.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing. Naomi and I took a big nap, while the boys went on another hike to the water. On the way to the water, they saw their first snakes in the wild. They were very surprised at first but then enjoyed observing them.

We had such a good time and were sad to leave. On the way home Jacob started throwing up. So we had to made a few stops. I think he ate something that his tummy didn't like because it came on so suddenly and was gone just as quick.

Thank you Medema-Topham Family!
