Adventures with my parents

 On Sunday, we decided to explore the Mt Adams wilderness. We started with a magnificent hike along Falls Creek Trail. I will always remember it as "Falls" creek because of the treacherous trail. We turned around after about twenty minutes because it was so dangerous.
 Despite not being able to make it to the end of the trail to see the falls we were still able to find the perfect picnic spot. Ever since I was a little girl, my mom has always been one to find the "perfect" picnic spot. She did not let us down this time.

 Our view.

 The kids spent a lot of time playing in the glacially cold water.
 My adventurous dad then took us seven miles into the forest to an unmarked trail that took us to one of the most amazing falls I have seen yet in the Pacific Northwest - Panther Creek Falls.
Our day ended with ice cream in Stevenson, WA and a visit to Skamania Lodge for coffee.
