Randall Cabin - Labor Day weekend

We used to go to our family's cabin every Labor Day. We resumed that tradition this year. It was a beautiful weekend up near Mt. Hood. We spent a lot of time playing outside, walking the trails around the cabin to Zig Zag River, Still Creek, the "Wobbly Bridge" (pedestrian bridge over Zig Zag) and up to the top bridge over Still Creek. We spent more than a fair amount of time throwing rocks and sticks into the river and creek.

I love the scenery and the people walking in it! God's beautiful creations!

This is the "Weather Station". If the rock is dry, it's sunny. If it's wet, it's raining. If it's swinging from side to side, there is an earthquake. If it is under water, there is a flood. Quite humorous, I must admit!

Kezia loved walking by the water. She was so happy to be outside!

Throwing rocks...

 and more rocks...

 Dipping feet into cold Still Creek - brrr.... (after throwing rocks)

 We went to the Bonneville Dam and Fish Hatchery. It was so exciting because the salmon were in the fish ladder. They could jump really high!

Kezia was so excited to chase birds. All the little birds... she couldn't understand why they didn't want to come to her. They kept flitting all around her and she would chase after them.

 

The kids fed the rainbow trout and then tried to get the ducks to come eat fish food out of their hands. The ducks ate the fish food... just not out of their hands.

We were blessed with beautiful weather and a wonderful time together as a family!
