On Saturday, April 23rd, Sierra and Autumn went paintballing with the youth group. Summer, Eric and I went on a local hike. And it was beautiful!
There's nothing like getting up high enough for a view!
Can you see Mt. Hood?? It is right above the hills to the left of the center of the photo. There were clouds right through the center so it looks like the top of the mountain is a cloud.
In this photo, you can see the mountain more clearly. Where it comes down to the base. What a view with the neat vineyards, the blue skies, trees, and then the stand-alone mountain!
Can you spot Eric and Summer? And those huge trees!
Down the trail, we came across this amazing meadow!
It took my breath away. Yellow is my favorite color and yellow flowers are my favorite. A golden meadow is just perfection!
The trail was a little crazy - there were a lot of muddy spots! Ha! Let's just say by the end, I just walked through the water in the mud cause it was no use anymore.
We did 4.5 miles with over 1,000 feet of elevation gain.
Good workout!
You know it was a good day when you see this.
Fresh air...sunshine...and nature.
When we got home, I made a pot of jambalaya and we sat outside enjoying the sunshine having a delicious bowl. Ahh. What a nice day. :)
