Today I did a really nice hike with my friend Jamie up to the glacial lake in the crater of Broken top in the Cascade range just out of Bend. Two summers ago I hiked to the summit of Broken top and always wanted to hike to the crater. The trip is about 7-8 miles round trip with approx 1600 ft of vertical. Was originally going to bring the older boys but they are still recovering from Camp this week :)
The boys loved camp and can't wait to go back. Thanks Camp Tadmor. Until next time...
We drove the boys up to sleep away church camp on Tuesday evening. They should have a fun few days together enjoying swimming, hiking, archery, canoeing, crafts, skits and many other fun out door activities. It is their first time away from home. Hopefully, it will be a fun experience and Abbie will want to go with them next year.
During July and August weekends Mt Bachelor offers sunset dinners at Pine Martin Lodge so Kelly and I decided to check it out tonight. It was fun seeing the ski area in the summer and riding the chair lift both up and down!
On Saturday we spent the afternoon at Suttle Lake. The weather was beautiful with a warm breeze.
The kids are participating in the summer reading program at our local library. Each month they draw a winner and they can come in and pick out a prize. Abbie chose a white fox with the book that goes along with it. She is one happy little reader.
Leanne and I held a 70th birthday celebration for Dad at Elmhirst Resort. Great food and fellowship.
Nothing like a donut after church.
We got up at the crack of dawn this morning and walked to the neighborhood school field to watch the balloons being launched over Bend. It was worth being a bit cold and tired to see them. Such a fun way to start the day!
