Mt. Baker

Today was "don't work on the house day" so we headed up to Mt. Baker. It was warm, in fact probably one of the last really warm days left until next summer (high 73 degrees). Even from Bellingham it's still a long drive up there, approximately 1.5 hours I'm guessing. We saw a lot of bicyclists with racing numbers on their way back down the mountain. It was Ride 542 - Glacier to Artists Point, 4300+ elevation gain in 24.5 miles. The road is closed from 7:45 AM to 12 PM until the last rider makes it to the top. Turns out it pays to be late getting out of the house sometimes.

Future rock climbers. Don't worry, she's actually standing on flat ground trying to scale the rock in front of her.



Cole could have stayed for hours and just made up games to play in the snow and rocks.





But this is how Audrey felt about staying.



Audrey and Dad.



Me looking skeptical.
