Summit shot! |
First day, we went up to enjoy Diamond Lake and check out what it has to offer on the John Dellenback trail. It's a 10 mile loop around Diamond Lake on a bike path. I wasn't cleared to ride a bike yet, so I took my coker up there.

After the ride, we checked out National Creek Falls. Worth it, but probably don't need to go back |

The A/C kicks on at the falls. The water is super cold. |

If you make it up there, be sure to check out the Fulgurite at the top. The "lightening rod of the Cascades" gets hits by lightening every year. |

Kai did great on the way down. Nikko... not so much. He was freaking out. |

The Botts girls were solid and really helped the day go with less tantrums. |

Nikko found a Geocache at the bottom. |
