Snoqualmie Adventures

Today we went to Snoqualmie Railroad Days, it made me feel more American and sparked a bit of love for the state of Washington. Up until today I haven't really cared for WA, but when you get out of the city it makes you realize there are good people and good neighborhoods, you just have to find them. 

Snoqualmie Railroad is now a cute passenger train for tourists :)

We then ventured over to the "Lumberjack Games" where they had an Ax Throw, the Two Man Bucksaw Race, and other Washington RedNeck games... the truth is I loved it! I was quite entertained and it reminded me of the Tractor Pull that we have back home!

I love the green trees, I am beginning to see why people like it here!

Snoqualmie Falls is beautiful... the picture isn't that great... but that is what you get when you have nice strangers take your photo. Trever doesn't really like to ask other people to take our picture, he doesn't like to inconvenience them so it would be super embarrassing if I were to ask the stranger to re-take a photo... thus we just roll on with the photos we are blessed with! 

Plus, it's not like I am some amazing photographer!

We hiked down to the bottom of the falls, and then hiked back up to the top, it was nice and scenic... I took this picture while walking... I now feel bad about complaining about other people's photography! Mine is horrible, but mom would be proud of me for taking pictures!!!

The river at the bottom of the falls was BEAUTIFUL. We sat there for a while with our feet in the water. Cute Miss Chandler was alseep so Trever and I just chatted and cooled our toesies off.

Pine trees always remind me of my dad.

Chandler is quite the hiker!

This boardwalk was PACKED with people... so we got an OK glance at the falls... we took a quick family selfie and headed out. There was no way Trever was asking someone to take our picture in that mob!

Chandler loves her daddy! She also loves her pink track suit even though it is too big for her... we are raising an athlete, so she's gotta look the part. 

After the hike I was SO hungry and thirsty! On the 30 minute drive home I told Trever, "I'm so hungry I might die, I'm pretty sure. Pull over here. This is a beautiful area, you can bury me. I don't think I'll make it to Red Robin" But I was really craving a good burger, so I decided to stick it out. Dinner was awesome and it was so lovely to have a family outing!
