Wagstaff visit and Mt. Adams climb

July 28-31, 2011
Slowly getting settled back into our home we anticipate with delight a visit from Sara and Ross's family.  I will get to watch their 3 little ones while Sara, Ross, Jeff and David climb Mt. Adams.

Mary loving the stuffed piggy.

Jeff staked the ladder to the tetherball pole so Joseph and Moroni could use it as a fireman poll.

Moroni's turn.


Moroni usually landed on his bottom rather than his feet.


Helping their mommy wash their car.


Sara, Jeff and David ready to climb to base camp.  Ross and his friends will join them that evening.

Mt. Adams - 12,250 feet

Sara saving snow in hopes it will become drinking water later.

Sara in front of her tent and the mountain.

Beautiful views. Mt. Saint Helens far right.

Next morning getting ready to climb to the top.

David - ice ax ready.

At the top!

They slide down the mountain  and get home Saturday night.

The boys love helmets, can you tell?

What a beautiful family!
