Washington Day 7: Doing what we want

We did something a little different today.
Some people wanted to chill at home
And some wanted to hike.
So everyone got to choose their own adventure today.

Mom, Dad and Jackson headed back to Rainier NP
To check out Silver Falls.
But first, they stumbled upon the Ohanapecosh hot springs.
They were rather unassuming

But they were definitely steaming hot!

The hike was peaceful

And scenic

And the falls,
For as easy a hike as it was,
We’re pretty awesome

You could hike right up to the shore

Original Reed 3 selfie

Then they spotted an elk herd on the way home

The rest of us decided to hang out a the house
And play games and chill.

Beck was pretty excited for the rest of the fam to return—
Turns out, he doesn’t sit well either.
Off to the river we go!

They paddled back and forth 
as far it was deep enough on the little river

More things we want to do?
Enjoy happy hour on our host

Beer for the adults
And ice cream for the kids

We decided we needed our Rainier Junior Ranger badges—
Books done.

And then we decided it was about time
We ALL went Frolfing…

The boys were faster
But probably didn’t have as much fun as the girls

We needed more fire pit time

And a spontaneous dance party
Choose your own adventure day was a hit!
