Tony & Jen Visit!

We enjoyed some extra special guests this past weekend -- Jen and her fiance Tony flew over from Portland; we had a wonderful time with them here!


On Saturday we packed up a picnic lunch and enjoyed the scenic drive to Kirkham Hot Springs.


Unlike the last time we visited, the springs were a popular destination, so it took a bit longer to get into some of the deeper pools -- but soon enough people started clearing out and we had the place nearly to ourselves.








Gordon didn't hesitate to jump right in to the shallow pool.







Grayson took his time getting into the warm water.












Jen and Tony clearly adore each other ~ we are so excited for them and their future together!



















It's great to be in this glorious mountain spa!










Here, Gary and Grayson are watching a group of rafters paddling by on the icy cold river, while we soak in the warm spring water.



















Gordy loves soaking in hot springs!











Grayson finally "warmed up" to the idea of getting into the water.






Splish-splash! Now he's having a blast!





After a good couple of hours in the pools, we made the hike back out toward the car and enjoyed some snacks -- Gordon & Grayson were eager to sip on their refreshing juice boxes.





I just love this picture of the boys enjoying each other's company!











Heading home, it didn't take long for Gordy to doze off. Here he is, leaning on the shoulder of his new pal. Gordy and Grayson both adore their new buddy Tony!







We're all impressed with Tony! :) After arriving back at the cabins, he treated us to a delicious dinner of grilled steaks & chicken, wonderful spinach salad (garnished with poppy seed dressing, pears, and walnuts), scrumptious seasoned vegetables, and broiled red potatoes. What a fabulous day!
