Crystal Mountain

Before Ganma arrived we discussed 

the MANY things we still haven't done here. 

Wifey wanted to make sure we had some fun 

before she was down and out recovering from having a baby. 

So we gave Ganma a couple of options and 

she picked the Gondola ride at Crystal Mountain!

Our Gondola awaits 

Getting in

Off we go!!

He looked a little apprehensive but he really loved it!

Enjoying the ride 

and checking out the view!

It was a good hour and a half drive to get there 

and so of course because our pooches were allowed to ride 

as well we couldn't just leave them at home!!

the Gondola.  

Once at the top we packed our lunch and 

enjoyed a picnic lunch at the top with this:

AMAZING VIEW!!

Mount Rainier 

(AKA the dormant VOLCANO that we live relatively close to!)

Belaxing at the top of the mountain

The views 

At the top of the mountain!

Check out our boys with Mount Rainier

They had trails that you can explore at the top of mountain. 

But because Wifey was just 2 days away from having a baby 

Ganma, Daddy, the boys and the dogs went on a short walk.

The whole gang with Mt. Rainier!

This little one couldn't get

enough of throwing rocks off the side!!

(Don't mind Wifey being VERY pregnant!!)

Enjoying the ride 

Everyone had a really good time!

Even the pooches!

We are so excited to have this amazing experience with Ganma! 

Ganma went with Wifey to her last doctor's appointment before 

the delivery and Wifey's doctor highly advised us to make the trip and 

to experience the amazing views!

We highly recommend it to everyone as wells! 

Even if you're only 2 days away from delivery!! 

(And you obviously have permission from your doctor!)

Wifey's doctor was super nice and really amazing! 

We had a REALLY difficult time finding her to begin with

(14 phone calls and then a HORRIBLE experience with the NP in the practice!) 

but after finding her she's been really great! 

We went on one of the last days of the season 

to ride the Gondola ride and it's a good thing we did too 

because 2 days later they got over 2 feet of snow and let 

expert skiers/snowboarders enjoy the mountain!
