If you haven't figured it out already, one of our favorite places to "get away" for the day without having to travel more than an hour is the Columbia River Gorge.
We had a sunny day and decided to get out and get some fresh air. I'm so glad I brought their hats and gloves in addition to their jackets --it was freezing! Literally, I'm sure. And the wind... wow. It was cold. We inhaled as much fresh air as we could in the 10 minutes we spent out of the car. Ha.
The kids are such good sports. Emma wasn't so sure, though.
We got glared at from an older couple sitting in their truck in the parking lot. I guess they didn't think we should have been out with kids so young on such a cold day. Oh well. The kids had fun! They ran around and explored the field a bit with Samson.
It would have been MUCH colder to hike up Beacon Rock, so I just took a picture of it. Maybe in the summer. There's a great view of the Gorge from the top.
I think this field is beautiful year round. Even when it's brown. :)
Anyway, we all survived... No one got sick... No one froze to death... We got some fresh air and vitamin D... It was a good day.
