Beacon Rock and the Gorge

We took the girlies on a hike while in Portland for the 4th. It is such a beautiful place to connect with nature and each other! Always great memories for us.

Here we are on top of Beacon Rock. Great views of the gorge. The girls loved that at one point of the hike we were actually higher than the birds!

We saw a train, boats, and some crazy birds and chipmunks! Scott hiked here as a kid all the time. It was a lot of fun to bring the girlies here - so much to see and do!

Words to live by

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

St. Francis
