Last weekend, Chrissy and I went over to Snoqualmie, WA for the day. Seattle's been a scorcher lately, so we thought it'd be cool to go to Olallie State Park to take a dip in the Snoqualmie River. It was pretty cold, but felt great. We even put Pretzel in - her first time swimming.

On Sunday, it was even hotter so we decided to go swimming again, this time in the Snoqualmie River just upstream from the Snoqualmie Falls. We were actually in the water just to the right of where the famous Twin Peaks sign was shot for the show Twin Peaks.

Because the Cascades got such little snow fall this winter, the river was a lot lower than it normally would be. We were able to easily cross the river and plant ourselves on a sand bar all day. Surprisingly, the water here was warmer than we're use to in Michigan. We had a beautiful view of Mount Si in the background. My brother and his family also joined us.

We had a great day. I got a little burnt, and lost a sandal (which probably went over the falls), but it was well-worth it.
