June

At a Ronald McDonald fundraiser, Mike and I bought a getaway to Mt. Hood Golf Resort for a night.
Beautiful time of year to go and enjoy some golfing.

We also hiked up to this super clear and super deep lake that Mike called Little Crater Lake.
You can see all they way to the bottom of 45 foot lake.

I went with Brooke and Ellianna on a TAG field trip to OMSI
