I am so getting bad at uploading photos on here! I need to change that! For a long time, they won't load properly, so I gave up. I think today is the day that I'll try again. Jeff's mom came here at the first part of April. She flew in from Twin Falls, ID. It was nice having her here! She's always super friendly and just loves being with the grandkids. They love having Grandma Lori around! (Well, Landon can't physically tell me that, but Leena sure can!) We went to Eatonville one day, which is about...20-25 miles East of where we live. In short, middle of nowhere. Whoever, it's a tiny podunk town, that had pretty sweet park that Leena wanted to play at. We had packed a lunch for everyone so this was good. We had a nice lunch there at the park, threw Landon into the infant carrier (Jeff is getting rather anti-stroller these days, he doesn't even keep in the the car that I drive.) and we had a fun playday at Meadow Pond park, or whatever it was called. With Grandma Lori being from smalltown america, this is good! Because if there are little bugs flying around Leena and I, we freak out, grandma kills them for us, HOORAY! Haha. We played at the park for about 45 minutes, and then drove up to the un-errupted, HUGE, snow capped, Mt. Rainier. It's about 30 min from Eatoville, putting the park entrance at about an hour-ish away from our new home in Puyallup. I have to say, that day out in Eatonville, I was HOT! It was early April and about 74 outside, INSANE! I did enjoy the sun. Being from California, and living here, you take the sun for granted. I've learned not to do this living where I do now! It's perfect for rain lovers, NOT for sun lovers! Anyway, it was fabulous outside. We drove to Mt. Rainier national park, and with the admission, we just said, eh, we'll get a season pass, it's the cost of 2 visits, it's easier this way. We saw mountain, upon mountain of snow that had just been plowed off of the roads. About 12 feet tall in areas, some maybe 15 feet. Just massive amounts. It was very pretty, and I'm not one to speak highly of nature. We drove around and took a million pictures. One area, we stopped, and at one point, it HAD been a roadway. But it had been dumped on with snow. Let's just say, we were walking above the top of the stop sign. It was that deep. Leena had fun throwing mini snowballs at Jeff and I, trying to miss Landon while he slept, briefly. It was cold, about 35 or so. We were all wrapped up in typical Northwest fashion. All in all, it was a good day! The day prior, we'd gone out to Applebees with Grandma Lori, and that was fun as well. I had been there before and it seemed like the food had no flavor, glad to see they finally stepped up their game and started seasoning their food, haha. Grandma left on a Tuesday, we'll miss her until we make the trek to Idaho in July!
Me and Landon :)
Jeffy and Landon, he really liked hanging out with Dad!
He likes apples!
Jeff with his mom and Landon.
the "sun is blinding us" photo with our eyes squinted, except Jeff.
The road inside the national park, that was the "small" piles of snow we saw the whole way down.
Lone Leena in the snow...
Mt. Rainier, good shot.
This was the road that had about 12 feet of snow on it. Jeff's being super careful climbing with a sleeping Landon.
Grandma Lori and Leena Beena.
Jeff, Landon and I trekking around.
Lori
She was taking a pictures, so I had to snap one. And we were about....40-50 feet away from that pile, so it looks "smaller" than it really was.
Heading home, where EVERYONE slept.
