PORTLAND BRIDGE PEDAL

Blake & I did the Portland 6 bridge pedal. It was a 14 mile ride over all of the bridges in downtown Portland. It was fun, but became quite the workout when Blake decided to stop pedaling. Nothing like pulling 50lbs of dead weight & not being able to stand up on the bike. Our top speed was 27mph while coming down the Freemont bridge.

FUN IN THE 100+ DEG

This last week we had 4 days of 100+ degree weather. Makes me glad for air conditioning, but it also makes it hard to work. I have to soak up the sun while I can. So Monday we went on a speed boat tour of the Willamette river,Tuesday I played at the lake, Wednesday we went to the beach, and Thursday I went golfing & spent 6 hours on the kayak! Doesn't get much better than this!












When we first got in, dad had an interesting time trying to get the water out of his kayak :)

















Once we got the water out, we set sail for a 10 mile trip down the Lewis river. It only took us 4 hours. Some parts of the river were deep & cold, others were warm & about 2 feet deep in the center.






We saw a bald eagle & about 8 other hawks & eagles fishing along the way.





By the end of the day, we had spent 10 hours in the 90 degree sun. It was fun, but we got fried!
