We decidede to expose her to a little bit of nature.  We took her all over the place, including Multnomah Falls.

She thinks she is something special, doesn't she?  We took her to see the snow.   We went to Mt Hood.  She had a special treat - it snowed while we were up there.  She had never seen it snow before.

After all of that playing in the snow we went inside the Timberline lodge and had dessert.
