Weekend Excursion

This past weekend we took a little excursion we've been wanting to do for a while now. We drove to Hood River then turned South on Hwy 35 through all the fruit orchards to circle around behind Mt. Hood. While on Mt. Hood we did a small hike at Trillium Lake. You can see the day was beautiful!
The 2 mile hike at Trillium is smooth enough to take a stroller on. We discovered, even with a stroller, 2 miles is the limit for our family :) The kids were very tired and hungry by the time we reached the van.

This was at the start of the hike. The kids wanted to stop and look at things so often that the 2 miles took about an hour and a half.

This picture was taken at a little farm near Hood River. We picked up some delicious corn on the cob but discovered apples aren't in season yet. We might try to make another trip in early October to get some fresh apples and enjoy the harvesty feel :)

We're all a bit squinty as we're looking into the sun.

Weston took this photo. Not bad for a six year-old!
