It was a HOT one here in WA! In the 90's. Keith and Jordan worked all day on a big project so I took
Jaeden and Brooklyn for the day down to Portland, OR. We went to a couple of stores, had lunch at
IKEA, and then decided it'd be nice to dip our toes in the water somewhere.
We crossed back into WA and
visited the cute little towns of
Camas and
Washougal, along the Columbia River, where we found a place to walk down to the water. A lot of the beaches looked crowded and crowds were the last thing I wanted to deal with so this place looked just right! I believe that is Mt. Hood in the distance (correct me if I'm wrong).
We wished this little cafe was open. It looked so fun and right on the water! We'll have to go back.
Isn't the name even fun? Love the sign! Almost made me think of being in the Caribbean again.
Trying to keep cool.
This beautiful, sweet
puppers wanted to play with the kids. They were waiting to load the boat onto the trailer and she snuck out once to come say hi to the kids. Kinda funny how quiet she was sneaking away, and then her owner noticed! See how she's looking longingly at the kids splashing in the water?
Sweet hands. If you look closely, you'll see she's a nail-biter! Is that a given maybe 'cause she was a thumb sucker? I know I had that bad habit as a kid (nail biting - not thumbsucking). Jordan does it, too. If they only knew what they were really chewing on!
So refreshing!
It felt funny and unreal that it was the 4
th. Usually we're together as a family for the day. We still had a nice day, though. Hope you did, too!
Keith & Boo
