Fun Times as Usual

Everyone is staying busy as the fall rains and cooler temperatures become the norm.

Halloween parties during run group and spin class are always a fun time. As well as running and walking in the neighborhoods looking at decorations, gardens and lovely fall colors.

Rainbow Lake on a Sunny Day

Today was the most wonderful day for a hike! Even though it was a little cool in the shade, the sun came through to warm us up.  Rainbow Lake was our destination, but Olallie Lake with Mt Rainier in the background was a most amazing sight! Lots of waterfalls along the way and fast moving streams to cross on this trail.
