Mt Saint Helens

This is how we celebrated Memorial Day 2011. It really was a great day trip to visit Mt Saint Helen's and Big Foot Country! We ate lunch at a really yucky restaurant, but everything else was good...

It was a cloudy day, so we didn't get to see the top...But here is what we did see...

Garrett can not sit still...

We really don't beat the child, promise...

Can't. Sit. Still.

The lava bed...

The clouds kept trying to break...

It was an amazing sight...

Inside the visitor's center...Wyatt is really becoming a little Rock Hound...

His favorite: Iron Pyrite, better known as Fool's Gold...

Garrett liked touching everything...

What goes on inside a volcano...

The kids each got to "fly" a "real" helicopter...

Here is Garrett sitting still...

Wyatt trying to ignore the camera...

This was the view from the helicopter...

Oh, Garrett...Always a clown...

Big Foot Country...

Wyatt, Leah, Lis, and Garrett...

Garrett took this one...

This house was flooded with all the aftermath from the eruption in the 80's...

Funny fact...It's currently on the market!
