The boys wanted to go climbing again and this time Abbie decided she wanted to try it too!
I had to travel to the southern California area for work, so I we bought an extra ticket for Abbie to go down and visit her grandparents for the week. She went to Disney Land with Lulu and Auntie Erin, saw her great grand parents, visited with her cousins and had an all-around spectacular week!
Hunter on his new long board!
Having been overseas for 2 years, they don't really play baseball over there so both Hunter and Noah are just starting Little league for the first time. Here is Noah at his second game.
It was a fine spring central Oregon day so I wanted to a do a family outing we could all participate in. We drove about 1 hour north to an area called Trout creek that flows into the Deschutes River. This is a deep canyon area that has some amazing basalt formations around. There is a rough trail that allows you to climb up to the base of some basalt bluffs but that part of the hike will have to be a trip for another day perhaps in the fall with just the older boys. Today was clear in the low 60's. This is a perfect time of year to go, where everything is green and its not too hot yet.
We got lunch at Subway and the kids got their own carrying bags with the lunch!
The hike upstream along the Deschutes River Trail from Trout Creek Trailhead
Cool trail bridge we passed under on the way down the canyon and back out.
I built a new sandbox for the kids on Sunday.
For work I was down in Medford Oregon this week in some pear orchards (Harry and David). Things are blooming!
