The week was screen free week (no electronics or TV). Our kids' school had activities organized during the week culminating with a Friday night hike. See if you can pick out Kelly and kids. They are on the left side of the picture.
While Bachelor usually stays open until the memorial day weekend, it will likely melt out at the bottom before that point this year due to the lack of snow. It was very thin near the bottom today, but up high it was great so we spent out last day out near the top of the mountain. Really nice and warm today making the snow super soft. We had a great day and a pre-celebration of Hunter turning double digit birthday tomorrow.
Some Video footage from today:
This past weekend, I climbed Mt Hood - Oregon's highest mountain, with a couple of friends from work - Matt H, and Zak C. Last time I was up it was 2011 also with Matt H about a month later in May of that year. The weather this time was spectacular, however with the low snow year, the climbing was much more difficult. We left Bend about 12:30 AM friday night, and left the parking lot at Mt hood at 3 am. We hit the summit in 5 hours around 8 am. We were back down by 11:30 for lunch at the lodge before driving home.
In the pictures, if its not obvious, I am in the red jacket (blue in one sitting), Zak has the green jacket and Matt has the brown jacket. Notice in some of the pictures how blue the sky is. No camera filter - just shot with my iphone.
We have purchased a new 4 acre parcel just outside of Bend that we want to build on. We are all super excited. The kids will continue to go to the same school.
