80"s Day for Ellis

Ellis has Spirit Week this week in school.  Today was 80's day.  Wow, that brought back some memories.  

Here is Ellis and her two friends, Hannah and Kate.

The Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch today.  What great weather we had!  It was sunny and 68.  We usually have cold rainy weather this time of year.  It was nice not to have to slop through the mud today.

A Weekend At the Cabin

Brock and Ellis enjoying a peaceful afternoon on the deck of our new cabin.

The salmon were running.  It was amazing to watch the huge salmon swim up the creek and jump over the rocks!

The cabin was cccccold when we arrived.  It took a while for the wood burning stove to warm us.

The next day we went on a beautiful hike around Trillium Lake.  

What a beautiful view of Mt. Hood reflected in Trillium Lake.

A bluejay joined us for lunch.  He was big and not afraid of us at all.

We did another hike that ended at a beautiful waterfall.  However, I forgot my camera on that hike.  So, I just got a picture of the girls at the sign.  Kiley was cold, so Brock gave her his coat.
