Rafting!

Jonah's first time in a raft
 “If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.”
~The Tao of Pooh

One lovely August weekend we found ourselves in the company of the spectacular Ellingford-Rhodes family floating dreamily down a flat section of the Deschutes River in Central Oregon. We spent our time climbing (well we watched while they climbed), taking bike rides, watching movies, observing a cheerleader camp (a huge hit for Autumn), eating yummy food, and generally enjoying the company of dear friends to the fullest.

 Autumn was such a great "big sister" to Jonah sharing her toys, hugs, and even her bike trailer with him. The way he looks at her makes me sure that they will have a long friendship because I don't think he is going to ever let her out of his sights.



 Autumn calls the rapids rappers. Above you can see she LOVES the thrill of the river and the big splashes!
Martha the sweetest dog in the world!

After Cristi, Spencer, and Autumn returned home Uncle Hyfte came for a quick visit too. On our way back to Salem we stopped so Jonah could bag his first Geo Cash with Uncle Hyfte. Very cool indeed.
