Oregon '09

So Steven and I headed up to the Pacific Northwest for a week and got to see Steven's sister Deneal and our friends the Mitchell's!

Here we are on top of Mt. Spokane with a little boy we kidnapped. Just kidding. That's Lindsay and Patrick's cutie pie Nolan.


We tried to go camping here but all the sites were taken. Sad. But we cooked corn dogs over a fire and walked around a bit. It was cool. After that we went to a funpark place and played miniature golf, go carts and laser tag. Just so you know, laser tag is awesome!


After Spokane we headed over to Seattle. Above are some of the most delicious things I've ever had in my life called a pirohshky. Below is the Space needle!



One day while we were in Oregon we went over to the shore and went crabbing. 5 hours of crabbing and we caught 2 keeper crabs. We could only keep the males and they had to be bigger than 5.75 inches otherwise we had to toss it back. It was scary at first to try and pick them up but after a while we learned how to do it. Below is a video of Steven trying to grab out little crab which later became our dinner!


After the crabbing, we went to the beach and made a fire and boiled up some corn on the cob and ate our two little crabs.

Walking along the beach.

On our drive home, Steven, Deneal and I stopped by a place called Punch Bowl Falls and hiked the 2 miles to the waterfalls. It was really beautiful.

We had a lot of fun and it was really nice to see our good friends. Patrick has such an awesome family who were so nice to us and let us crash at their place. Unfortunately we didn't take hardly any pictures while we were in Spokane, but oh well!
