AZWA crew…
July 28, 2008sooo, eric does this bike ride every year for the diabetes association, Summit To Surf. they start at the top of mt. hood and finish in hood river along the columbia. his brother matt has been joining him the last three years, and much to our delight, miss jamie came along this time! matt, jamie, eric and i and the boys drove up the mountain on friday morning, took our time enjoying the sites, and then stayed the night near ski bowl. we always LOVE spending time with these two! so, here are more pictures than necessary…although, is that really possible?
enjoying lunch…
an impromptu photoshoot…
the boys getting soaked in the fountain outside the restaurant…
when the snow melts, ski bowl (ski area) transforms into an adventure park with a zip line, bungee jumping, go karts, and lots more.
since it was in walking distance to our condo, we checked in and headed down to the park.
one of the only things the boys could do was the bungee trampoline. so here they are getting their harnesses on…
eli jumping…
once dylan got up there, he decided it wasn’t for him…how could i let those $9 go to waste?
besides, i forgot how at home i feel on one of those things:)
thanks jamie for all of the flattering pics you caught of me…
although, this looks pretty neat with the top of the mountain behind me…
and check out those pointed toes:)
after my performance, we drove to the east bowl where there is a half mile alpine slide that you ride on the chair lift to the top, and take a little “car” like sled down this luge type slide. it was breathtaking…matt and eric each took one of the boys, while jamie and i went solo behind them.

unfortunately, i left my camera in the car:(
here are the guys the next morning before they took off on their 50+ mile ride over the mountain…matt made the boys shirts to match his and eric’s. too cute!
jamie and took the boys downtown hood river while the guys were riding. we had breakfast at the best coffee shop ever, and then headed down to the river side finish line to watch them come in…
off to enjoy some yummy burgerville, and listen to some music..
jamie took this of eric and before we left. look at my handsome man:)
we had such a great time! today is matt’s birthday, (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!) so we spent it over at their parents house barbequeing and hanging out. we always treasure the time that we get to be with them, thanks matt and jamie so much for coming up, and being with us this weekend!
