It ended up being a bit of a busy summer between work and everything else but we finally were able ot schedule in a camping trip! We rung in 22 weeks pregnant by sleeping on the ground in a tent while camping near Mt. Rainier. :)
We had beautiful weather and definitely enjoyed our time away. We didn't backpack or anything because of me being pregnant so car camping it was. We were so lucky to find a campsite without a reservation and had a great weather throughout our trip!
We ended up doing an easy hike along the river to a water fall and old growth forest area. It was nice to get 5-6 miles in without a lot of elevation gain. I think I would be have been pretty winded if we did that up closer to Mount Rainier at a higher elevation.
Chet picked some huckleberries for us.
A little bit of a baby bump. The river and falls were beautiful.
After we got back around mid-day, we couldn't resist swimming in the river at the camp site. It was such clear blue-green water! But, it was freezing cold. Definitely refreshing and a good way to get cleaned up after hiking!
Late afternoon, we headed up to Paradise at Mount Rainier. We did a little bit of hiking but just sat and enjoyed the view mostly. I love all the alpine flowers and the view of the mountain.
