Mark, Daniel, Eli and Micah arrived in the early morning hours of Wednesday, August 15th on Southwest Airlines. Rather immediately on arrival they began preparing for a 4-day backpack trip in the Three Sisters Wilderness with 'Auntie Tasha.' (pix below of staging area) After the successful backpack trip (pictures in the next posting), we all spent time unpacking and cleaning up prior to driving to Silverton and Silver Falls Park to see the falls, and do just a bit of hiking.
One of the great accomplishments of the trip to Oregon occurred on the very first day when Micah, age 6, learned to ride a 2-wheeler! (Ever since that first day he has ridden around the neighborhood with great joy and abandon.)
The flight back to the East Coast occurs this Saturday, so we only have a couple days left to visit the Gilbert House in Salem and also make a quick 1-day trip to the Oregon Coast. Much fun has been had by all, and all concerned have greatly appreciated the Marionberry pies that Grandma had made and frozen prior to flying to Malaysia! - rw
