Saturday was Jessica's birthday. She decided she'd like to go hiking for the day and then go out for dinner. So, Eric and I picked the hike to Latourell Falls with dinner at Skamania Lodge afterward. I'm pretty sure Jessica has a direct line with God, because the forecast had called for rain, but we ended up with a beautiful sunny day to enjoy the glory of the Columbia River Gorge.
I remember still, very well the day Jessica was born. And although it was a happy day because I had my new baby girl, I have to say, this day was much more enjoyable. The hour hike to the falls, was much easier than the 10-hour labor (natural, thank you very much). Happy Birthday Jessica!

Is this the tiniest dog you've ever seen?
We saw so many beautiful wildflowers...here is a wild Columbine growing in the dappled forest.
The bottom half of Latourell Falls (I couldn't get the whole falls in from where I was standing)...it is a beautiful fall...and getting soaked by the ice cold mist was refreshing!
Jesse and Eric look up at the falls...Skeeter couldn't care less.
Jessica's abundant birthday desert that she was nice enough to share with me.
A birthday hug for Jessica at Skamania!
