Sunday Evening Walk to the River

Drew and Chrissy are here for a short visit. They arrived late last night (early this morning) and will be heading to the Oregon Coast tomorrow. One of our favorite Sunday activities is to walk to the Columbia River (a couple of blocks away) and use wrist rockets to shoot rocks into the river. It was a bit of a challenge to shoot the rocks without hitting boats or jet skis. Hot weekend days tend to bring a lot of people to the river.

Bruce, Kyle, Drew and Chrissy heading down Sherman Street.


This funny cat was laying on a tent trailer as if to say, "It's too hot to have fur."

Chrissy's first try at the wrist rocket.

Her second try was more successful.

Drew, showing us how to skip a rock. It skipped about five times with a 90 degree arc.

"...and this is how you hit a jet-skier"
