Mt Baker Camping 2012

Lucky for us, we had a reservation at a campground at Mt Baker this past weekend and were able to escape the Seattle heat wave.  Our 3-story townhouse gets unbearable.  I had heard that people were still skiing at Artist's Point but figured some of the trails would be melted out.  Nope!  Still tons of snow - unbelievable for August. 

Isaac and Mt Rain-Baker as he calls it (all these big snowy volcanoes are confusing!)

We waved to Becky, Pete, Andy, & Mica who were on the summit (or had been a couple hours ago).

Isaac made his own snowballs and we played catch!

Look at all that snow! 

On Sunday, we did a short hike along the Nooksack River to a lovely little sandy beach.

The boys were hard at work making a boat which we then got to throw rocks at. ;)

Ha - I've never seen him make his mouth so small like that; I can just hear the, "Hmmmmmm" in his head! What a great thing to do on that "Heat Blast 2012" weekend.
