Mount June on Friday

On Friday Christen, Evie, and I went out for another hike. It was a pretty stressful week for both of us between working on my comprehensive exam and everything else going on, so Christen skipped school in the afternoon (and went in on Saturday) so we could go for a little relaxing hike. We hiked about a mile to the top of a little peak--the highest in the immediate vicinity. We forgot our camera, but I got some pictures with my cell phone, and figured out how to get them onto the computer. Evie enjoyed a meal at the top:

We had a beauiful view of the three sisters and all the mountains in central Oregon. If anyone wants to come down later this summer, it supposed to be a pretty fun day hike to go up one of the three sisters, by the way. :)

This is how Evie made it to the top:

This was on the way down, but on the way up I had her facing forward. She was pretty wide-eyed the entire time, just taking everything in. By the time we got back to the car though, she was sound asleep, and slept the entire drive home.

While I was getting pictures off of my phone, I remembered this one that I took a while back from my lab window:

You might have to click on the picture to be able to see it, but there is a tank driving on the lawn behind the science complex. The drawing is just our normal window markings when there's not enough room on the white board.
