Day at the Beach

 We spent Saturday at Cannon Beach, which is about 90 minutes from Portland. Soren liked seeing all of the starfish on the rocks, and using a stick to draw in the sand. 

Weekend at the Mt. Hood cabin

We had a great weekend at a cabin on Mt. Hood, about an hour outside of Portland. Soren and his friend Eliana made the world's tiniest snowman at the Timberline Lodge (where The Shining was filmed many years ago). Weather was beautiful -- in the 70s and sunny all weekend. We went on some great hikes, had lots of good food, and lots of fun with our friends. On the drive back to Portland, Soren had his first Dairy Queen experience.
