Mt. Hood Trip

We went to Mt. Hood last Thursday evening/night. The boys were at camp still, so it was just us girls and Daddy. We have a great view of Mt. Hood from our living room window. It is fun to watch the snow build up and melt throughout the year. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing.


The Mountain kept getting bigger and bigger.


This is how we roll. You'll notice Hannah in the backseat. She has been banned from the front seat next to Mary. I'll leave the why up to your imagaination...






Paul and I had fun taking goofy pictures.
One memorable thing was that we saw a leg lying alongside the road. That's it just a big old deer leg. We were laughing pretty hard.






We had a light dinner at the Timberline Lodge. We love that place and have even stayed there during off-season for Officer's Councils. Ann and Hannah shared a PBandJ sandwich, carrots and grapes.

Mary chewed on a carrot stick. (But darn it!! I just erased her picture!)





We met a couple of ladies from Florida and chatted with them for a while. One of them was an executive in the resturaunt business in one of the Fortune 500 companies. We just love meeting new people... and I love talking food! They got a kick out of the girls and took our picture.

We hiked up a paved trail to the snow. I carried Mary and Paul did the hard work of pushing the girls in the stroller, straight up hill.




I call this one "flip-flops in the snow"




It was 107 degrees when we left The Dalles. Mt. Hood was hot too, but when we got up to the snow, it was cold!







Only Paul can throw a snowball and take a picture at the same time.

Love the pics! You did a great job. We used to ride horse every year from Devil's Half Acre campground to Timberline Lodge. I still have so many wonderful memories of it. We would tie our horses in the trees at the treeline and hike the rest of the way to the lodge. We would have our spurs, chaps, and hats on and have lunch. People really looked at us like we were weird, I guess we probably did look weird now that you think about it! Anyways, looks like you had a great time!
