Playing in the Cascades

Hello all,

Life has sure been busy in the bone - but we have found some time to steal away and play in some other parts of the Cascades. Summer in Oregon is like nothing else - and should be enjoyed to the FULLEST!

Murphy and I met some friends at Lake Billy Chinook for a day of wake boarding. Murph didn't wake board - but did go swimming... Great times!
We then headed up to Mt Hood and went for a sweet hike with Sara and our dog friends Rita and Nemo. The views were beautiful and we hiked among wildflowers and snow. Amazing.

Beautiful Mount Hood

Joe came with Murphy and I the next week - and we ventured back up to Mt Hood to visit friends and explore. We took a sunset drive up some back roads in our friend Rob's jeep.

Joe, Connor and I just got back from a few days in Central Oregon - visiting some of our favorite places and catching up with friends. We spent a night canoeing and camping on Sparks Lake and spent a night visiting in Bend with folks. It was a great trip - and very refreshing.



Life is good - the sun is shining, the days still long. Hope to see you all very soon.

Much love,
Katie and Joe
