fall foilage

This past weekend I wanted to go see some good fall foliage, since the rain is starting and the wind has been blowing like crazy. I thought it would make sense to go up into the mountains. Turns out, the only trees in the mountains are ever greens, which means no fall foliage. Who knew. It didnt matter though. We headed up to Mt Hood, we have never been, to see what we could see. When we got to Timberline lodge we realized how unprepared we were. There was snow. Needless to say, we didnt stay long in the freezing temps and our thin jackets. On our way down the mountain we stopped at this trail and took a quick hike. Again, unprepared without Rhys's backpack. We hiked a while until rhys and I got tired and it started to rain.
Rhys picked out his first walking stick. It was pretty cute! It was so nice to get out while the weather is still decent.

Yes, I agree the sauce is amazing! Only took me 3 years to create a recipe from "Deena-sized handfuls and 3 seconds pouring" that would work! :) But oh was it worth it!!
