Driving and more driving…

The kids were super good in the car.  We listened to 4 books on tape, worked on stitching and the hat loom, sang some songs, looked for the alphabet letters and snacked (on mostly healthy stuff), drew pictures, etc… Once we got half way across Oregon we stopped at this lookout point to stretch our legs.  It was super windy. Then we watch Mary Poppins on the laptop, parts of it were hard to see with the sun coming in the windows of the van, but the kids didn’t complain.

This was one of the views by the Columbia River.  Do you love Mount Hood in the distance?   That mountain is so tall compared to everything else around here that you can almost always see it.  Some parts of the road were lined so thickly with trees that we were walled in by green on both sides.
