Tom's Birthday Trip to Bend

For Tom's birthday, I registered him in the 75 mile Cascade Gran Fondo bike ride in Bend. We took a couple extra days to enjoy some hiking as well. Great weather, great trip!

Hiking the Green Lakes trial. Maggie travels in style. She was VERY popular on the hiking trails in Bend. 

Beautiful scenery.

Followed this creek the whole hike. It was great, except for the enormous mosquitos!

Trying to give Maggie a snack while keeping her from playing in the dirt and avoid mosquitos.

Time for Tom's bicycle ride!

Maggie shakes Daddy's hand to wish him good luck.

Hi Daddy! Have a great ride!

Pit Stop #3. Tom's lookin' good... but then again, he always looks good!

Back at the finish, Maggie explores the BOB while waiting for Tom.

Oooo, an orange cone. I love orange cones!

Happy Maggie.

Great finish Tom!!

Handsomest bicycle rider ever!

Final trip up to the lakes before leaving. Devils Lake.

Me and the Mags.

Exploring. Must touch every tree along the side of the trail. It's very important.

Our little walker.

Helping Maggie touch the water without falling in is not easy.

Near the Old Mill District. Maggie "helps" push her stroller.

Maggie napping. Sort of. Okay, not really at all. Oh well.
