Lunch and a Dip

Jodie and I stopped for a birthday picnic lunch at a beautiful spot on the Dorena Reservoir. We couldn't have asked for a more peaceful place. We sat in the shade and looked out over the water, allowing the breeze to cool us as the temperature rose.

The park is one stop along the Row River Trail. We've vowed to return with bicycles one day, and have a memorable ride.

After we got back into town, Dale and Kenny joined us on a quick trip to Eastgate Woodlands Park. It's not far from their home.

We scooted on our butts down a little incline so we could dip our toes in the chilly Willamette River.



This friendly bird and friends welcomed us. But the flock swam on when they realized we weren't going to feed them.

Then we returned to Jodie and Kenny's house for a yummy birthday dinner and dessert. What a wonderful way to celebrate our daughter's special day.
