Family Adventures

It was hot last weekend and we wanted to find someplace a lot cooler to go and rest. Well the cooler and fun happened but not quite the resting part.

We ended up going to a place called Drift Creek Falls. Man o man is it a neat place, its on the way to Lincoln city and up in the mountains. The trail is about 1.5 miles one way so a little more than 3 all together. Good thing I threw our family snack pack on my back.( hee hee) It was one of our best adventures in the great unknown.

It was the perfect ending to a long weekend.

Keizer Wastewater Reclamation Center

For a scouting activity we arranged a trip to the Keizer waste water reclamation center. It was very pretty full of information. I hope the boys really had a good time. Below are a few of the pictures that were taken.
