Sonja and I went camping this weekend. I thought it would be fun to give Kari a break from us and a good time for Sonja and I to have some time together. We ended up heading down near Mt. Rainer National Forest and spending two nights there. Sonja likes being outside so she had a great time.
We brought her bike so she could ride around the campground. This picture was the pinnacle of that experiment. She is still figuring out how the balance bike works.
On Saturday we drove up to Sunrise. There was still some snow up there, so we only did a little hike and had a snack. We also played Old Maid at the picnic benches. Sonja really liked the visitor center and all the interactive displays they had.
Our campground had an old fir tree that was 9.5 feet in diameter. Sonja was not impressed. When I read her the sign about how the tree survived a huge fire 300 hundred years ago and that the fire had left marks on the tree, she was concerned about the fire still being there and refused to get near the tree. Not included is a picture she took of me standing next to the tree.
Sonja got to take her nap outside. After a while, I joined her. I didn't intend to fall asleep, but I was laying there, watching the tall trees sway in the wind, and soon it was an hour later and I was waking up.
