Our Vacation

Reed had all last week off. Our family vacation plans included 4 nights at the Skamania Lodge. http://www.skamania.com/ This is where we were married- and yes we stay there often, but we always know it will be a good time- and it is! While there we had pool time with Christopher everyday, we hiked around the lodge and ate dinner in Stevenson this time instead of the lodge. Reed golfed one day and I just relaxed in our room reading while CR napped. One afternoon we went to Multnomah Falls.http://www.multnomahfallslodge.com/ Before our wedding, this is where our rehearsal dinner was located. Anyways, it was very cold this time of year so we only made is up to the small bridge you'll see in the pictures- and then we left! It was just too cold to take Christopher up to the top of the falls. I can't believe that one of Reed's and mine first dates we took our nieces (Cierra and Joclyn) up the top of the falls holding both of them!! It was a workout! Well - Enjoy the pictures!

So the last night we were there Nonnie (our sister-in-law) took CR for us overnight! We enjoyed a leisurely evening of dinner and breakfast the next morning. We took the back roads from Stevenson to their house in Woodland. IT WAS GORGEOUS!! The sun was shining all day! We stopped and took these shot of Mt. St Helens along the way.....

The pictures are great, you're lucky that your state is such a great backdrop! I can't believe that CR is so big! Love you guys.

Okay, suddenly Christopher looks so grown up. Maybe it is the hair cut. I love the videos and the beautiful pictures!

I agree CR looks so big with his "big boy" haircut! I need to post Isaac's picture, he just got a little trimming also! Anyway, looks like you guys had a great time. The Skamania lodge and the area are so beautiful. I would go there a lot too if I was you guys!
