Powell Butte

One of the perks of living in our neighborhood is that we are extremely close to Powell Butte.  You can run, walk, or bike down the Springwater Corridor from our house or it's about a two minute drive to get there.  It's great to still be in the city, but feel so close to nature at the same time.  We have been taking advantage of our proximity to Powell Butte a lot more lately since the weather has been nice.  Jeremy is training for Hood to Coast so he is running it multiple times a week.  He has been alternating which dog he takes with him and the dog left behind is always extremely disappointed.  On Friday we hiked it with both dogs.  I had my phone with me so I took a few photos, but I didn't think about it until we got to the meadow at the top.  This morning was Sydney's turn to run with Jeremy so I decided to take Roxy out as well.  I'm hoping the pathetic look on the dogs faces will keep me motivated to stay active.

Beautiful view of Mt. Hood.

On our way out of the trails we ran into this guy.  I think he wanted to eat our whole family.

I hope you all had a great weekend too!
