Adventures

Una and Kathy @ Mt. Hood

So i'm a little behind on my postings....Kathy, Una and I had a series of very fun adventures. We went to Mt. St. Helens and did a quick visit. Kathy kept calling it "Una's Mountain" and so, now she calls it that too! Man, it is so beautiful there, but it's a harsh beauty. i didn't even manage to take photos. Kathy loved it and since then, we've decided that we need to come back and hike the summit. The next day, we went to Mt. Hood where people were still snowboarding, but also warm enough for people to be swimming in the outdoor pool. Una and i spent some time playing in the snow while Kathy explored more. I had to literally drag Una out of there. She loved the snow and grabbed a handful to take home. Then started crying when it melted in her hands in the car. We also fit a trip to the Gorge in there, and a little Portland: some shopping, a tour of Bullseye with Ted, and also a dinner out. We ate at Bamboo Sushi, and man, it was good. a perfect outing sitting at a table with the wall open to the air outside, gorgeous sunny evening, incredible food, incredible company, and Una chowing down every thing. I just kept watching her in awe while she sat at the table with us all proper like in her cute sundress and shoving a sushi roll in her mouth with delight. And me thinking,"This is really my kid?" i was such a picky eater....ok, i still am sometimes.

Anyways, we had just simply an AMAZING week with Ms. "Kafy", and we were all really sad to see her go home. Una kept asking for her the next day and i had to keep telling her she went home. It took a while to sink in. Thanks for the visit, Kath! You are such a rockstar, and i'm so lucky to know you.
