We stayed at Ronnie and Nettie for a few days and then at Daniel and Sadie the rest. Both of those couples are super hosts, and they blessed us beyond measure. Things were going so well, that after 2 weeks we were not ready to part ways. Our time was short.
We as a family tried to hit all our favorite spots. My cup is full, so we did pretty good i guess. We also went to new spots that are now a part of my favs. I've waited too long to post and therefore writing is not happening. Enjoy the pics.
We lived near the Alpaca Ranch and never found the time to go til now. It was shearing week and so we watched.
They tie the legs and shear off a 'blanket' of wool all in one piece. Then they continue to shear all the nooks and crannies and fill another garbage bag! LOTS off one animal.
After. Wooless
Sadie's brother Andrew and niece Ashley were with us today.
Tristan loves Georgie and Josiah likes to read. Good buds they are.
Ahh! Bike races in Bend. How do we get so lucky? Twas great fun to stroll around here again.
Here's a spitting contest off the bridge. If a back leg helps i'm sure Dave won. Otherwise i think Meg got it!
A lovely evening out with Ronnie, Nettie, Daniel, and Sadie. Thanks to our teenagers for babysitting all the kiddos.
Anyone recognize this spot? Dave and i have seen so many magazine picture out of Joseph, OR or labeled as being in the Wallowa Mnts/Lake/Valley. And now we see for ourselves why. It was so beautiful in Northeastern OR. The men were elk scouting and begged we ladies to join. We're glad we went!
The town of Joseph.
What more could you want from a place?
Just outside of Joseph was this little tourist-y village from where the tram went up to the top of Mount Howard. 8,150 ft.
This cable ride is about 15 minutes long and dangles anywhere from 3 ft to 120 ft above the ground. The view was spectacular, but i guess i used both hands to hang on, rather than take pics.
There's Daniel, Sadie, Tristan, and Renae.
Oh! Is this why i should be wearing shoes instead of my sandals?
Sadie and her kiddos
The guys are glassing for elk. They hope to hunt in the Eagle Caps this fall.
Dave and I.We spent the night in La Grande, the guys went out in the morning to set up their trail cam and then we traveled the 4+ hrs. back to Terrebonne. Dave and Daniel saw over 300 elk this morning, so this was a worthwhile trip for them and Sadie and I were very glad we joined them. Tristan and Renae were glad to be home again!
