spring break getaway.

Over Spring Break, Luke and I headed out of town one hour to Welches, OR, minutes from Mt. Hood, where we stayed at Mogli's family cabin, right on the Salmon River.  We were by ourselves on Thursday, and then our good friends Brandon, Victoria, and Craig joined us, as well as my brother Christian.  What a well needed rest after finishing up our term of after school classes, the play, and registering for our next term.  Phew!  

 

Luke may or may not have serenaded me...

We made a tasty dinner and enjoyed cooking together.

We went hiking and hoped to get to Salmon Butte, but started at the wrong spot.  Still a wonderful time of camaraderie and delighting in God's creative nature. 

 

on the trail- still enjoying my ecuadorian hat!

Breakfast on the deck- what a treat.  70 degree weather in March!

besides the bonfires, sleeping in, bike rides, sitting by the river, reading, eating, and good conversation, the highlight might have been on Easter morning when we woke up before sunrise and headed up Lolo Pass Rd. as far as we could go before the road was blocked out.  We then got to watch the sun rising upon the mountain- what a great way to bring in the day we celebrated our Savior's resurrection.  

I am so grateful for moments of rest like these and truly do cherish them.
