"...wish they all could be California girls"

Ahmma and Dumpa came for a visit a couple weeks ago. After having cool summer temperatures towards the end of June, they brought some California sunshine!  We hit the road to two of our favorite pacific northwest destinations: Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Hood.  We also enjoyed some local activities, such as picking raspberries, eating lunch at a winery, visiting a miniature donkey farm, taking walks at Champoeg State Park, and going to the St. Paul Rodeo/ Carnival.  McKinley loved being with her Ahmma and Dumpa!

McKinley has been to Mt. St. Helens twice!  This was taken on the

These were taken at the Johnson Ridge Observatory
