We love summer hiking and chose a short one to break the kids in easy.
Here is Lulu living it up in her private chauffeur around Round Lake
Hyrum playing in the sand while on one of our many outings to Vancouver Lake
Smile girls!
LaurieAnn loved the pool
Gabby ready for a LOUD 4th of July party!
Sisters and our babies awaiting the neighborhood fireworks display
Last weekend we camped up the Columbia River Gorge at a favorite place near Wind River. The Hills joined us for dutch oven dinners, fishing, roasting mallows, and relaxing by the fire.
Hyrum trying out fishing for the first time
Not quite the kind of bike that Daddy wants but the kids loved it! Thanks for sharing it with us Porter and MaryLeigh!
Throwing rocks on our hike to Wahclella Falls
The pictures don't even do this waterfall justice. It is a gorgeous 2 mile loop hike near Multnomah Falls.
The kids were fabulous hikers. A few bridges and throwing rocks made it an adventure for them
Okay, so I just dubbed the shirt in this photo my hiking shirt. I was looking at some old photos and I am wearing this Columbia Sportswear shirt in virtually all our hikes. Dorky I know, but you have to go with what is comfortable, right?
Anyway, more to come on my blog, but for now BYE!

Yea! I've been waiting for you to update! Sounds like you guys are having a great summer! We will have to do something together as families when I get back from Utah!
Well it's about time you did an update (could you let Amy Morgan and Marci Bowen know that they need to update too!!). I'm glad you're having a great summer. I love the picture of Gabby with her 4th of July ear muffs on - too cute! We love and miss you guys!!
You guys have had a very adventurous summer! You have been busy. I love all the pics. You guys live in such a beautiful place, I am jealous of all your waterfalls! Can't wait to read more.
We've missed you. But don't feel bad about not blogging, you're having a blast and staying active. What's better than that? Not blogging. That waterfall is gorgeous. Your babies are so cute, someday I will meet them. Danny and I are talking about moving to WA. How awesome would that be? Cross your fingers for me. I hate UT. We hike a ton too. It's such a good way to get out and be active. I'm hoping I'll lose a pound or two. :)
I am so glad to hear from you again. Looks like a fun summer. We have been exploring some waterfalls too this summer. We live in such a beautiful place that you have to enjoy it right!
I still haven't made it out to Vancouver Lake, but you made it sound like a lot of fun. I need to do that hike near Multnomah with my kids. It's a long way out, but one can only hike Round Lake so many times! Sounds like your kids are keeping you busy and active!
A memory from my mind: When you first walked into our apartment, I knew I wanted to be your friend, but Jen seemed to be made for you.I was so jealous. But, I got you eventually. Late night pizza, you introducing me to Boy Bands, crying over various boys, both of us borrowing Jen's clothes. OH, this one kills me. All of us putting hoodies on and dancing and singing to our hairbrush mics in Crisit's room. There's a ton to choose from. I love you Becca!
