Mt Rainier

We had a day where we decided to sight see. We chose to take a trip to one of the nearby mountains. It was an hour and a half drive there:) When we left our house, it was raining!

...as we got closer, the rain turned to sleet, and then to snow!

This is what we saw as we drove---It was beautiful and the girls loved it:)

Um, so eventually-(after nearly sliding off the mountain), we decided to put the chains on the tires!!! Neither my mom or I had ever done the whole chain thing:) So, if you can, imagine ---it's snowing, windy and cold. 2 girls in the van and my mom and I outside the van with directions and metal chains!!!! It wasn't pretty; my mom fell, we were cold and wet, our knees hurt, and our fingers were numb. However, we did succeed!!!

Can you see our snow tracks?
