Mt. St. Helens

This post is on our visit to Mt. St. Helens, bet you could not tell that from the name:). We went up there with my grandma , oh about two months ago now, I think. We very much enjoyed it. Any way here are the pictures....

Most of us....
Looking at maps, lots of fun it that....



smile.....Three generations.....Just a little help....Going on a walk in a swamp...OK reading first.... Out we go.....look.... A frog....And cattails, I really like cattails they are pretty, and fun to take pictures of....Maps again....Smile again.....Playing with the camera....Waterlilies....Just pretty pictures...Run Joshua, run... polliwog... Big strong brother....sister's....I was amazed at how this turned out....A cute little creation museum on the way to the top. **Leanne what was the name of that place? I don't remember, but it was very cute and worth the stop...Help me, help me I 'm locked in....I came to the car last and Delaney had this in her hand, she came up to me, very excited and showed it to me. I asked her if she knew what it was and she said no, I was very surprised but I guess I have to say I have never seen a grasshopper at our house before. Anyway we just had to get a picture of her first grasshopper.... I love looking over big bridges and such, mom did not like the whole trip up or down. Poor thing. But we did stop for pictures here...It was just a little tall....(112.8 m{370ft})A pretty little trail we could not go on... :P I had a great time taking picture of the view as we drove up...We stop to get better pictures, and it was Kathleen's turn with the binoculars (giggle) I'm not sure where she got the idea but she thought you 'had' to stand like that when ever you look through them, (laugh) no not with her head back like that but with her feet that way. She was so cute....View again.....Another bridge....More view....And another bridge..... (names this time)And more view.... We watch a little movie about St. Helens, Obadiah was very cute sitting there in his own chair and falling out the back :)......What we saw when the curtain went up...I love this picture, I got it on the way home....



Look at the clouds on this mountain.....



Most of us did this on the way home, but we had a great time..... Or this....After his nap Obadiah went a little goofy and played with his blanket for about 15 minute....Samantha

I remember when we went there. It was a lot of fun. I mostly remember the bridge. That looks like it was a lot of fun for you all. I like the pictures of Obadiah. He is soooo big now!:)

Love you
