Months Eight and Nine

Tuck at 8 months.

Aunt Amber took some great pics outside our home....

Thanks Aunt Amber!  So nice to have these great pictures.

Uncle Olaf and Felicity hung out and spent the night.

Went for a hike in the Gorge with the Amandis and cousin Jackie!

Uncle Tony and Latourell Falls.

Daddy and Tucker under Latourell Falls.

The following week we went up to alpine country.
On our way up to Elk Cove and Barrett Spur on Mt Hood.

Final destination on Barrett Spur.

Uncle Marcus came up to Portland to see what all the hiking was about.  We decided to tackle Cooper Spur.

We convinced him that it was fun to carry Tucker up hill.

Fun times with Grandma!

Cousin Durand had fun with Tuck.

Taking advantage of the short alpine hiking season, we set our sights on the Trail of Flowers in the Mt. Adams wilderness.

Mt Adams just above Hellroaring Canyon.

The next weekend we had time for a quick hike up to Soda Peaks Lake.

Long days...long walks.

Waiting for the bridge lift.

We got away for the weekend...thanks Grandma.

Starting to look like fall at another cool spot in the Gorge.

So long!
