I really don't mean to brag, but can it get anymore beautiful than this? It was so nice to take our kayak out again. It had been a while. We paddled around this mountain lake for a few hours, looking at salamanders, fish jumping out of water and the occasional bald eagle.
The next day (no photos, sorry) we took a short bike tour around part of the "Fruit Loop", or so its called here. We rode a little over 20 miles up into the high valley of Mt. Hood where all the fruit orchards and farms are. Spectacular.
Sunday, we decided to pick a hike from a local guide book, called "Curious Gorge" (cute). We hiked in to "Elowah Falls". A lesser known hike in the Gorge with a 290 foot waterfall to view. Here are a few images from that trip:
For those of you asking for a so-called "baby bump" picture (or lack thereof), here is one. Almost 15 weeks here, officially in the 2nd trimester. Belly poking out a little bit, but really more uncomfortable to me, than really visible to anyone else. Happy Independence Day to all!
