Snoqualmie Falls

Since we have gotten the opportunity to move around a lot we have seen a lot of things just by default. We always joke that we are too cheap to vacation so we just move. Whenever we move somewhere I make a big list of all the things we want to see.  We can't be constant tourist so in the midst of living life, we "travel" around and see new things. Right now we have designated Friday as our adventure day. I know it will change with time and weather and everything else, but Friday is working right now.

About 20 minutes from our house is a Seattle must see: Snowqualime Falls. Its a huge waterfall tucked into the mountains surrounded by trails and hikes. I've been when I was in high school, but I actually have no memory of it. I don't know if it was raging when we saw it or small but doesn't matter. It was beautiful!

I didn't realize that there was a hike down to the lower part of the falls. Its not that crazy but I was definitely wearing boots and everyone else was wearing hiking shoes and tights. The girls were troopers. They hiked down and then back up the whole 1 mile. A mile is not a lot. I know that, but going straight up for a mile on 4 year old legs is pretty impressive. Not one time did she ask me to hold her and not one time did she complain. It was a big deal. And by the way. The bottom part of the falls is a must!

None of these photos have edits. Its just that stunning!

Kelsey LOVES worms. I mean LOVES worms. She wanted to stop and touch every slug we saw and every time we came to new moss, she was like "Its moss! A worm probably lives here!" I love this about her. She is not afraid to get messy or touch slimy things. She was so excited about the snails that she found, she even stopped people to show them. Luckily everyone was really nice because lets be honest, most adults would let a snail crawl up their arm. I certainly wouldn't.

For having little adventurers, we sure have been able to see some beautiful things. Issaquah is so awesome for having amazing sights very close.
