Last weekend we had some visitors. Will and Courtney came down from Cheney to meet Magnus and say hello to us. We had a lot of fun while they were here. But it was probably most fun to see Whitney try to interact with Magnus.
She really seemed to like him. She would point at him a lot and say “bbe.”
At one point Will and I had a baby battle. I came out the loser when Magnus spit up.
On Saturday, we all went to the Gorge. We did some of the main stops along the Historic Highway. First, we stopped at Crown Point to see the view. It was a very nice day and the point wasn’t even windy. Because of the nice weather here were a lot of motorbikes and bicyclists in the Gorge.
This picture is from the top of the Vista House.
We then did the short walk to Latourell Falls (one of my favorites).
Multnomah Falls was next. We all walked up to the bridge and got some nice pictures. I then ran back to the bottom to get a shot with everyone else still on the bridge. Magnus was a big hit with many of the other visitors to the falls. And from what we could tell he was pretty much the youngest person there.
We got lunch at a nice little burger and ice cream place in Cascade Locks with the intention to eat in a nearby park. By this point in the day the wind had caught up to us and lunch ended up being very blustery. But I did get this picture of Ruth and Magnus in front of the Bridge of the Gods (it seemed fitting).
After crossing to Washington, we went to see the baby salmon in the fish ladders at Bonneville Dam. Here is Will and Whitney enjoying the fish:
That evening everybody, but Ruth (who appreciated the rest) went to a park near our apartment to play on the playground. Though Magnus can’t move around yet, he enjoyed it when I drove the stroller across the bumpy grass.
Sunday, we had Magnus’s baby blessing. And that will be another post…
