Lost Lake

This summer we really wanted to do some camping. So we did some research and decided on a place called Lost Lake. We loved it there. We ended up going there twice this summer. We had a great time fishing, swimming, and hiking around the lake.

Great veiw of Mount Hood from the north side of the lake.

D and I hiked around the lake to the view point on our first day there.

D posing with Big Foot in front of the general store at the lake.

D loved swimming and throwing rocks in the lake. I don't think this one went very far.

This is the view of Mount Hood on the way home from the Lost Lake...so beautiful.

D turned 7 this summer. We had a little party at the house with family and friends.

Kindergarten graduation

D graduated from Harmony Montessori School on June 14th. He had a great year there and we were excited for his graduation day. They had a very non-traditional graduation ceremony. No caps with tassels. The children sat in the "Friendship Circle" and walked the circle to their teacher when it was there turn to get their certificate. The teachers said a few things about each of the children. Teacher Kristin talked about how kind D is and how he was so good with the younger children in his class.

A last picture with teacher Kristen. On to the 1st grade!!!

School Play

Right before the end of the school the aftercare children at D's school put on a play..."Small Cloud". D played the part of "Whistling Wind". Teacher Kristin made this awesome costume for D. We were so excited for the play...we had been hearing about it for weeks! D did a great job!!
