THE PIERCE FAMILY WAS IN CASCADE FOR A WEEKEND OF FUN AND I WAS INVITED TO JOIN.
FRESH AIR, MOUNTAIN BREEZE, AND A WONDERFUL FAMILY HOW COULD I RESIST. SO I PACK MY THINGS AND OFF I WENT
FINALLY ON THE ROAD
STARTING THE CLIMB UP HORSESHOE BEND
SOON HITTING ROAD CONSTRUCTION BUT IT WAS CLEAR SAILING
AWE PINE TREES HOW IVE MISSED YOU
WOOHOO GETTING CLOSER
ONCE I HAD ARRIVED WE SETTLED INTO CHATTING AND SOME DRINKING. SINCE THE PIERCE'S WHERE AT THE LAKE WITH FRIENDS, TESS AND I DECIDED TO HEAD OUT THERE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON.
CASCADE LAKE AT DUSK
WE SOON FOUND LAURA
MAKAYLA AND GABE FOUND THEIR AUNT TESS
DANNY HAD FOUND MY CAMERA AND BECAME PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE NIGHT.
THE NEXT DAY HAD A TRIP TO WARM LAKE PLANED. AS WE WAITED FOR THE PIERCE'S TO MEET US WE WHERE QUIT ENTERTAINED BY THE CAR PARADE MADE FROM THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION OF DOWNTOWN CASCADE.
THIS WAS A FAVORITE...CAMPER ON A FLATBED...TRAVEL IN STYLE
ONCE AT THE LAKE WE SETTLED IN FOR A YUMMY PICNIC
GABE AND UNCLE MATT
CLAIRE AND TESS GETTING PRETTY
GARRETT AND TOM
GORDON AND PIERCE BUNCH

PRETTY SURE CLAIRE WAS A FISH
HAPPY GIRL IN THE SUNSHINE
AND IT JUST WOULDN'T BE RIGHT WITHOUT A SELF-PORTRAIT

AUNT CHERI GETTIN' HER TAN ON
UNCLE TOM
GABE SOON DECIDED TO CLIMB IN A BAG AND WHAT DID MAMA LAURA DO...
YEP THAT'S RIGHT, PICK HIM UP AND GIVE HIM A RIDE.
NEVER HEARD THAT KID GIGGLE SO MUCH!
CLAIRE PLAYN' IN THE SAND
IT WAS FINALLY TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO THE BEACH AND HEAD HOME
AUNT CHERI WAS A TROOPER TO DRIVE SO WE COULD ALL SLEEP
TESS AND CLAIRE WERE PASSED OUT RATHER QUICKLY
ONCE HOME WE REPACKED THE BAGS FOR THE WEEKEND WAS OVER AND TESS AND I HAD TO MAKE OUR WAY BACK DOWN TO THE VALLY.
GOODBYE MOUNTAINS
IT STARTED TO RAIN ONCE IN THE FLAT LAND BUT WAS OVER JUST AS SOON AS IT STARTED AND OUT CAME A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO END A GREAT WEEKEND.
