Little Cultus Lake

We snuck away with the Young's to Little Cultus Lake this weekend to get some much needed rest and relaxation.  First item of business, hang the hammocks.

Next was unload sandwiches and lots of yummy snacks.  Last (but not least) was to get out the gear!  Kayaks, tubes, paddle boards...the perfect recipe for a successful afternoon in the sun.

Dylan and Sullivan decided to eat their lunch on the lake.  Literally. They went out really far (they are the little red/orange dots in the middle of the lake), then put up their feet and enjoyed!

After lunch, the boys (and eventually the girls) started hunting for crawdads.

Corie and I took a pass on the crawdads, and opted to go out on the kayaks and explore the lake.  When all was said and done, it was a perfect afternoon.  Can't wait to make more memories with these amazing friends!

Bend Lava Bears!

This little stud made the Bend Lava Bears 11U travel team.  Between that and his regular little league team, we have had a summer full baseball, baseball, and more baseball...with some swim meets in between.  Needless to say, our weekends have been packed!  Dylan is an incredible ball player; fundamentally sound and full of love for the game.  He eats, drinks, and sleeps baseball.  In my opinion, there are few things better in life than spending the afternoon at a ball game!

We are proud of you, Bucky!

Multnomah Falls-Gorge 50K

Luke was kind enough to sign up for a 50K that took us to this gorgeous waterfall.  Multnomah Falls has a 620 foot vertical drop.  Amazing!  We hiked to where we could see the water as it spilled over the mountain...breathtaking.  

Here is a photo of Luke running toward the finish line with two of his biggest fans cheering him on:
