A Beautiful Day in the Gorge

I love my home, family, friends, and Church family - with those four things, you miss home whenever you're away.

After church on Sunday, several of us went down to the Gorge to go cliff jumping - tons of fun! Hope we do it again soon!

No event, no matter how fun, is ever completely complete without some sport - soccer, frisbee, or volleyball. We settled for frisbee while playing Duck-Duck-Goose. :)

Paul and Rebecca's dogs were very popular. ;)

 After this, we headed to Angel's Crest for a hike that would end us at the top around sunset. We headed up at a good pace (we decided that we definitely got some sort of work out in).

Sitting up at the top and enjoying the beautiful creation that our God and Creator has made, we began to sing songs of praise to Him - there is not a ton much better than singing to God with your friends on the top of a mountain looking at a sunset.

Kaytra and Sarah :)

We got someone to take all of our picture when at sunset - about 9pm. Such great friends - I am so blessed by my church family. :)

After meeting various parents, we arrived home quietly with the soft drops of rain. Sticky from the hike and dirty from the lake, we were all quite ready to take a warm shower, get a glass of cold water or warm tea and settle down for the night (or morning, or whatever you would like to call it).
