We did our annual car camping trip with our good friend Susan. We went up on Friday and found our spot from last year. We also hiked into Punchbowl Falls. The next day we did the crazy hike with Will and since the kids were a year older it was a bit easier (and Noah wasn’t running a high fever). Saturday we bike\/hiked to Cascade Locks for Ice Cream and discovered the sternwheeler.<\/p>\n
Sunday we took a ride on the sternwheeler.<\/p>\n
