SUMMER Summary... part 2

Road Trip!

My brother Todd drove my van with me, Shari, Valerie, and Landon riding along! Sadly Gus didn't come. We drove with my parents, Jared & Lisa, and Brent.
We took a pit stop at Multnomah Falls where we met up with Brandon & Natalie and their family!
It was so beautiful!

Todd, Jared, and Brent ran up the trail to the upper bridge my camera has a nice zoom!
Fun at the Falls

Dog pile Bridger, Sterling, and Rylee on Brandon!

*****************

After the falls we drove to my cousin Angela & Byron's house to eat a yummy dinner and spend the night. The next morning Alex and Stephanie got married in the beautiful Portland temple!
The grounds were so green and beautiful!

While waiting for the reception a group of us went to the Pacific Ocean!

We met up with Julie & Mike

The rock from the Goonies!

We had fun but it was cold and the water was freezing!
The view was awesome!

Just being silly girls.

It was a fun and crazy Road Trip!
