Rainier Trip"},"content":{"rendered":"

We had the privilege of enjoying a day at Mt. Ranier just one week before we moved, when Baby was 3 weeks old. It was fun to introduce Baby to our love of hiking and the beautiful world around us when she was so little!<\/p>\n

We didn’t take a very strenuous hike. (Due to the fact that I was only three weeks beyond giving birth.) We walked a very beautiful trail though, called Grove of the Patriarchs. If you ever visit Rainier and want to take a nice and beautiful stroll, I highly recommend this trail. The trees are grandiose and there is a swinging bridge to cross. Here are a few pictures of what we saw while on the trail.<\/p>\n

The kids decided to hold up some of the fallen trees!<\/p>\n

\"Trio<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to feel small, stand next to some of these trees. You realize, you’re pretty young and pretty small both.<\/p>\n

\"Grove<\/a><\/p>\n

Here they are standing inside the roots of a fallen tree.<\/p>\n

\"Western<\/a><\/p>\n

We enjoyed watching this little bird (which I think we identified as a Western Wood-Pewee<\/a>) feeding her babies. We stood by the side of the trail and watched for a long time. Other hikers stopped to watch when they saw us watching her. The ones who had children with them thanked us for pointing this out. It’s a reminder that it’s important to pay attention to what is going on around you, otherwise you might miss out on some really neat experiences.<\/p>\n

Before we left the Park, the kids all got their Junior Ranger<\/a> badges. This is one of the highlights for them of visiting National Parks<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
