July 4th's Weekend

Forth of July weekend was a very nice three days off...but when are three days off not nice? Friday the forth, we went with Kylie for a nice hike on Sauvie Island. We also made a stop at Kroger’s for fresh strawberries. Independence day dinner - we went to my Mom’s and devoured all the traditional 4th of July staples. Afterwards we walked to the bluff to watch the Oaks Bottom fireworks display. On Sunday we attempted a hike on Sauvie’s again, only this time we went with my mom and Abby (Rita's dog). We tried a new hike to the lighthouse. It was a miserable hike involving a very poorly maintained trail, mosquitoes, blackberry bushes and rain. We eventually made it home but we spent the rest of the weekend recovering.
