We took off on Monday on a trip for our anniversary and we had a wonderful time! We stayed at the Skamania Lodge and did some fun things around the Columbia River Gorge.
OUR HORSE BACK RIDING ADVENTURE
After we checked into the hotel, we took off to go horse back riding. We had a lot of fun and we would like to bring Leah back to ride here as well (she was crying because we got to ride horses and we didn't take her with us). We started off on the 1 hour long ride, and half way through, our horses stopped and wouldn't go any further. Joe looked into the woods and saw a black bear! We turned the horses around and took another trail for the rest of the ride, which was really beautiful! The trail went down into the woods, through a creek and up onto an old logging road with absolutely beautiful views!

The people who own this horse back riding company live on 30 beautiful acres and have 26 horses! Here I am petting the horses while we wait to ride our horses.
Here is Joe riding "Curly Sue"
Here is me on "Rocky"The little girl behind me is living Leah's dream:) She gets to ride a horse anytime she wants to.
My hoses walk was so bumpy that I had bruises by the end of the ride.
Here is a view from the ride. It was so beautiful!
Here we are at the end of our ride.
DINNER AT SKAMANIA LODGE
Ok, we took almost all of the pictures of the two of us ourselves. Here we are right before we went down to dinner.
We thought that the food was really good!
DAY 2-MULTNOMAH FALLS
We can't drive through the Gorge without stopping by Multnomah Falls. We ate hot dogs for lunch and hiked up to the bridge.ONEONTA FALLS
Here we are about to go down and hike Oneonta! I hadn't done this hike in a long time and we had a great time!
The fun part of this hike is you get to get wet:)
Here we are, all wet.
Here is the view at the end of the hike.
Our conclusion at the end of this trip: WE NEED TO GET AWAY MORE OFTEN! We had a blast and the kids had a super fun time at Grandma's house.
