and Brian and Rachel on Saturday.

Today we celebrated Natalie's 29th bday,

4 days early.

Sean Danaher came down from

Laramie, WY, and Brandon up from Provo.

This was the first time Sean had seen Grandpop

in 13 years !

Brian, and Eric had not visited with Sean since

Natalie and Ethan's wedding 7 years ago.

We had fun trying to get a good pic of all of us,

not sure we completely succeeded

Mom and Dad got into town this past

Thursday. Kade and Addie had lots of

fun with them. Here are a few cute ones of Kade

Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

This past weekend Paul and I

went to western Oregon to see

the waterfalls along

the Columbia River Gorge

Most of the waterfalls are

on the Oregon side of the river.

(for your easterners, the Columbia River

divides Washington State and Oregon)

We hiked a mile trail up to the top of Multnomah Falls,

It was very steep and took us about an hour to complete.

Multnomah Falls is 620 high, the second tallest

in the US.
