Mt. St. Helens

We had an awesome day hiking to the top of Mt. St. Helen's. It is a hardest 4.5 mile hike but very worth it. The crater was breathtaking. My grandma who is 82 mad it 1200 feet from the top, AMAZING!!!! My dads cousin who is 72 made it to the summit, and my second cousin who is 5.5 months pregnant also made it to the top so congratulations to them!!!

Panoramic of Baker Lake

Here is a combination of 5 Pictures!

Baker Lake

Nikki and I just got back from an awesome overnight backpacking trip on baker lake. We Left on Saturday morning, it took just over an hour to get there. We first stopped at a campground 4 miles in but wanted to keep going to the campground at 10 miles. When we got there we were very tired and the campground was full of some fisherman. So we hiked another 2 tiring long miles to the campground 12 miles from where we had started! We had a nice dinner of Sweet and Sour pork with rice (thank you Mountain House) as we sat coldly next to our fire.

On Sunday we arose to be very cold, had a delightful breakfast of oatmeal, with raisins and brown Sugar and started our hike back. The first 8 miles went quick but the last four were pretty tiring!!

Here are some pics of our trip!

Banana Bread

So I made some banana Bread this evening. It turned out pretty good, perhaps I need to use another banana Next time (I only used 3).

Here is the recipe that I used http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001465banana_bread.php

Thank you for all of the people in the past who have inspired me with their delicious banana bread, especially you Mackenzie!

Tulips

This is a tulip picture that I edited, twisted and find ridiculously cool.

Tulips and Traffic

This Weekend Nikki and I drove to Mt. Vernon and saw the tulips and then took a 1 hour plane ride over Bellingham and the tulips! It was pretty sweet. I got to navigate the plane for about a minute in a straight flat path.. Pretty Boring.. But still fun. The picture of the tulip field from the air is the same field that the tulip pictures came from.
Enjoy the pics
