Adventure #4: Little Girl and Cow Conquer Mt. St. Helen's

Day Three was our biggest adventure. We decided to drive to Mt. St. Helens. It was a long car ride so I slept for part of it. First we stopped at the visitor center so Cowpurnicus and I could stretch our legs. There was a video to watch about the history of the volcano, but it was too loud and I did not care for it. On our way out we captured one of our first great views of the mountain.
You can almost see it at the top of the picture!
This photo is much better!
As we made our way up the mountain we stopped for lunch at the Eco Resort.
The food was very yummy and the setting was beautiful.
I saw horses and even saw a helicopter come in for a landing!
After lunch we continued up, up, up! We would turn a corner and see the mountain and turn another corner and it would go away! But it kept getting bigger and bigger so that must have meant we were getting closer!
We got back in the car, but I was so tired of being in the car I decided to take a nap.
When I woke up we had finally made it to the Johnston Observatory and really saw the volcano up close! All I can say is WOW!
