Saturday at Sahalie Falls

Rebecca, Mike's sister, suggested a drive up to Salem to see some falls. Somehow we adjusted and ended up going up the McKenzie River Hwy to Sahalie Falls. My folks came along, as did BreAnne and Krista. Here are some photos and comments in no particular order.

Losing a pet, a van, passports...obviously not enough excitement. Mike and Mom tempted "fate" by climbing beyond the barriers to the top of the falls...here Mike walks on a log across the falls.

I feel like this little green tree on a rock in a storm of water.

I dropped my water bottle....and it survived all else...I wanted it...Jared retrieved it...earning him favored son status for an hour. ::snort::

I've not asked Rebecca if I can post photos of her and Sherlock on the blog...but imagine a darling dog happily trotting along side. LOL

We went to church this a.m. We stopped by Mom and Dad's so I could get a connection to download form DS 3035. We had lunch and now we're off to buy some things for Mike. He'll need a few civilian things to go with the uniforms that are unscathed. Mike flies Tuesday. Prayers for safe travels for him are appreciated. The kids and I will say goodbye down here.

Choosing Joy!

Wow! What a beautiful place! I loved how you had the girls grouped. They really look like each other in those pairs. :)

LOVELY photos! I think I saw that you had to buy a new camera. Is that right? Big one, little one, or both?

But that little tree is standing on the "ROCK"...you just keep on standing my friend.

Wonderful photos...just gorgeous.

Beautiful pictures. Glad Jared could get your water bottle. I imagine when you've lost so much you want to hold on to what you still have.
