Early July


It has been a busy couple of weeks and here are just a few things that have happened. I will hopefully post pictures of the dance festival and other things in the future.

Dallin hiked to the top of Mt. St. Helen's on Wednesday and had a great experience. He took it slow but made it to the top. He was one of 3 that made it. Five boys quit and didn't make it.

Dallin took a picture of Spirit Lake from the top of the mt.

On the 4th of July we headed to Fort Vancouver to watch the fireworks. Alaina packed her backpack and when she had carried it a couple of blocks from the car she complained that it was too heavy so her dad was kind enough to carry it for her. When we got to the fort they checked everyone's bags and guess what we found in Alaina's backpack. Notice the pink 3lb weight.
When Todd asked her why she brought it, she replied, "to work out dad."


Todd participated in a 3 on 3 tournament last Saturday and afterwards we went to Multnomah falls. It was so busy we decided not to hike to the top but we did fight the crowds to the first bridge.

  4. Nice job Dallin, climbing a Mt is tough stuff. Cool you were one of the 3 to make it. I love the picture you took of Spirit Lake that is such a beautiful view.

    Alaina is a funny girl. That was a great idea to take a picture of what was in her backpack. She can definitely hold her own that is for sure.
