Finally, Some Sunshine and a Short Trip to Glide

Even though it didn't last long, we were extremely happy to finally see some sunshine up here in the northwest! Last week the boys and I decided that since we aren't seeing John too much right now anyways due to tax season, we might as well take a rode trip down to Glide to visit John's parents and younger sister for a couple of days.  While we were there the weather was absolutely gorgeous and even got up to the 60's!  So we luckily got to spend some much needed time outdoors feeling the sun and enjoying the country side beauty of Glide. Here's some pictures to show just how pretty it is out there:

Can you imagine running around your high school track that is surrounded by gorgeous mountains and trees like this? It's crazy to me I guess b/c I grew up in So. Cal where the view from our track was Chapman Avenue.... but at least we could smell the In'n'out that was just a block away!

Jackson really had a fun time just being outdoors and being a boy! 

He ran some laps....

and threw lots of rocks which is what he is doing in this next picture

Meanwhile, Bear just hung out in the baby bjorn and checked out the view....

and took a couple naps

I think this next picture is my favorite picture ever... he just looks so tuff and like he is about ready to beat you up.....

which is funny because he is usually like this:

all smiles and lots of fun!

We had lots of fun and even got a day of sunshine back here in Portland when we got back, which we spent at the park!  Unfortunately it didn't last long, but hopefully it will come back soon and stay for a while!
