First stop -- Lava River Cave. Inside, we played with Whitney's glow-in-the-dark ball. (We missed having Kendall on this trip, but she just got a new job at Red Robin and wasn't able to get off.)
This was Benham Falls, but it wasn't really a waterfall -- more like a class 5 rapids.
The first night, we went into Bend and played minature golf and the kids drove go-karts. Whitney won the go-kars race. Later, we went to Pizza Hut for dinner, but it gave some of us indigestion.
The next day we hiked all over the Cascade Lakes Loop area. Many of the hikes were along the Deschutes River, like this one.
We went to La Pine State Park and saw "Big Tree" (the state's largest Ponderosa Pine tree). This is McGregor vewpoint.
This is Todd Lake. We hiked around it but hit some pretty squishy mud on the back side of the lake. It was our favorite hike of the weekend.
We were looking forward to Lehman Hot Springs all weekend (because we were so cold -- below freezing for two of three nights), but were disappointed once we got there. Fortunately, the water was as warm as promised, so we spent a little time heating up in the water. We had a great weekend and made some great memories.

Great blog guys!
Looks like a fun place to go. Need to add that one on our list of places to hike. Found your blog from Leslie's and love all the cute pictures of your family.
I still need to get you those pictures of Dworshak from our camera. I have some good ones of Theresa surfing!
cWow!! Looks like you had a lot of fun, what a beautiful place to go. You look like some serious mini golfers....if there is such a thing. Also Theresa, you look too nice for camping. Were you wearing makeup while camping....because that is NOT allowed!
Theresa one more thing, do you spell your name with an H at the end? Or is that just for your blog site?
I'm not sure where to respond to your comments on my blog, but double click on the photo with the round mirror on my blog and get an up close look at the picture on the table below the round mirror and tell me what you think?
Looks like a fun trip! You guys always have so much fun. I hope that your kids appreciate how lucky they are to have such fun parents. What is Hickman talking about - not wearing makeup camping? I just went camping with her and she wore makeup the whole time!
Don't get me wrong, the Philippines is a beautiful place, but it just doesn't compare to the mountains and forests of the good 'ole United States. It's gorgeous there!
