Labor Day at Artist Point

Since nobody had to work or go to school on Labor Day, we decided it would be fun to drive up Mt. Baker and check out Artist Point. It's been quite awhile since we have been up there and we were excited for some beautiful views, some good hiking, and maybe even a little bit of snow! 

It was definitely pretty, although a little hazy due to the smoke from all the wildfires that was just making its way in, but we did manage to do a short hike and spend some time playing in the snow. 

Haleigh was not in the mood to hike...or have any fun at all. She cried for the first 20 minutes of the hike. At that point we decided it was a bit ridiculous and after eating a quick snack, we turned around and went back. She would have cried all the way back too, if I hadn't just picked her up and carried her for the sanity of us all! 

We ran into our good friends, the Potter's, and Annaliese was very excited to play in the snow with L.J. and Keziah. Haleigh was pretty indifferent and spent most of the time standing right next to me. She can be so silly sometimes!

At the end of the day, we decided that the trip was fun and worth the drive! But we also realized that it's nice to do things with friends and that having the Potter's to hang out with made the whole trip more enjoyable for everyone! 

On the drive home, we decided that it would probably be a good idea to end the day with some ice cream from Edaleen Dairy. They have delicious ice cream and serve huge ice cream cones! 

Lydia was not a fan...it was too cold for her liking!
