At the airport with all our climbing, camping, and baby stuff

Waiting to get the rental van and be on our way

Having fun in the campground

Hannah eating dad's blueberry pancakes

Everyone's glad to finally be here

Rigging up to learn crevasse rescue

Showing how to use prussiks

Ready to head up to the snow for a days training

Putting gear together for our snow training

Heading for the snowfields through the beautiful flowers around the Paradise Visitors Center

On the snowfields learning self arrest

Ryan Bledsoe taking his turn at self arrest practice

Everyone taking their turn at self arrest

The girls watching us play in the snow

Putting on crampons

Prettiest girls on the mountain

Our family

Heading back down for a good nights sleep before the big climb tomorrow

Rainier National Park is absolutely spectacular in August

Vibrant colors everywhere

On every hillside

The Indian Paintbrush, Daisies, Lupine, and countless other wildflowers are everywhere

Paradise is a good name for this place
