Mt Hood

The day before Ane left for Young Life camp we took a trip up to the Alpine Slides on Mt. Hood and then went on up to Timberline. Ane doesn't see much snow where she lives, so it was fun to show her the snow, even in the summer. The kids all loved the Alpine slides. Everyone rode up and went down twice, while Grant and I hung out on the bridge down below and took pictures.  We had lunch at Calamity Janes on our way home for burgers, fries, and shakes. Ane and Leyre both enjoyed their huge chocolate milkshakes. :) It was a lot of fun to have our friends, the Wilsons, hosting a Basque student, too. We got to see them a lot at the various events, and our families got together several times to do things and hang out. We enjoyed getting to know their student, Leyre, too.

Isn't that a beautiful sight?
