look what my dog did

My 72 pound dog Biscuit was laying on the couch with me when he noticed a squirrel outside so he stepped on my stomach and jumped off of me to pursue the squirrel. This is the bruise that he left on my stomach. Pretty bad huh? This happened 3 days ago but I did not notice the bruise until yesterday.

Our hike

Last Saturday we went with our friends to hike a mountain. This mountain has a few paths to choose from and the one that we picked was 1.8 miles up. We only made it 3/4 of the way. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. So we headed back down and took a different path that lead to water. We had a nice time and will keep trying until we make it to the top. This Saturday I'm going to take the dogs, maybe they can just pull me up.

pictures from our Portland trip

Yesterday we had to drive to Portland so Ave could see a pediatric stomach specialist. The drive to the hospital and the land that it sits on was just absolutely beautiful. When we were done we decided to ride the tram.

Avery inside the tram. See the cables, we are going to the other side
