All of you Portlanders reading this might wonder what we do for fun down here in the 'Burg. Well, to be honest, our options are pretty limited. No Blazers or Timbers games. Very few shows, concerts, or festivals. The restaurant selection is very limited and we never "go out" to bars, as they are quite depressing down here in Douglas County. We try to save movie nights and board games for the 8 months a year when the weather is terrrible, so you might be wondering what we do during summer nights. Well, we hang out outside. A lot. BBQ's and evening walks dominate our agenda, and more recently a fun ATV outing at a family friend's mountain. (Yes, down here people can own mountains.) Here are some pics from our friend's own personal campground, lake and viewpoint at Nickel Mountain, the largest nickel producing mountain in the entire country! (Little fun fact of the day there for ya...)
My little girl and I
Grammy Kathy and Miss Madeline
Jack was in HEAVEN with the lake
Jonas and his daddy
Yes, his shirt says "gangsta" on it and is referring to Roseburg. A college football teammate from inner-city LA made this for him. Awesome, I know.
Time for a sunset ride to the top of Nickel Mountain
My crazy driver!
Windy and cold at the top, but so worth it for the view!
Joe is really good at self-portraits
There... that's better!
So pretty
Love this one :)
