Before I write about our White Salmon post, I do have to mention that Elliot has graduated from Pre-K and will be a Kindergartner next school year. I can hardly believe it! Why no graduation pictures, you ask? Well...we were those wonderful parents who forgot their camera and decided not to turn around and get it, because we were running late to graduation and didn't want to miss it. Needless to say, some friends took pictures and made sure they took some of Elliot. The children signed (sign language) to Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" and I don't think there was a dry eye in the crowd. So sweet! Ok....more about that in another post...
Parents of a student I tutor offered their vacation home to us as a "thank you" and we didn't realize what a wonderful gift it was until we got there.
The house is located in White Salmon, WA, about 1.5 hours from Portland.
The house is located on top of a bluff...
...fun yellow swingy things...
...a tire swing...
...wild strawberries...
...killer views of Mt. Hood...
...15 acres of dog roaming (side note: Yakira is almost 14 years old and haven't seen her this happy in a long time!)...
...fields of wild flowers with a picturesque view of the gorge...
...more killer views, but this one of Mt. Adams...
