Lookout Mountain

IMG_7869

Lookout Mountain was our destination on a beautiful  summer day, but it is about an hour up a rugged dirt road. Luckily my dad let us borrow his car. Lookout Mt sits in the middle of the major mountain peaks in the area and you can see all of them from it. So the view is very nice:

Mounts Adam, St. Helens, Hood, and Rainier:

It was also very windy up there, so we ate our lunch in the back of the car. I think Magnus is a bit too excited to have his plastic butter knife:

We were also very pleased to find a high abundance of huckleberries at the top.

So we had to spend time picking them. IMG_7928

Magnus became very good at helping, though all his berries ended up in his mouth and not in the bucket. Notice his purple mouth and fingers:

In the end, we made out pretty good. And now we can make use of our huckleberry cookbook Ruth got me for my birthday.
