First snow of the season and six months of bliss

If it were up to me, I'd live in Bend. Well, yeah, I mean, I'd live in Austin first. But, Bend is a close second. 

We take off to Sunriver whenever we get the chance, and two weekends ago, we brought the Greenbergs with us. It was a quick trip, but we managed to fit in a "hike," a couple of breweries, and Ben's first snow. 

Christmas card-worthy shot here, guys! 

A man in his element. 

This guy...not so much a fan of the backpack. Needless to say, our hike didn't last long. 

It was COLD. This smile is hiding my disdain for the cold. 

Ben's first ROCK pic. We didn't make Kat and Mike sit on the rock since it was covered in snow.

He was all smiles with auntie and uncle.

Here's what happens after one giant glass of wine and soccer on the tube. 

Sunday--sans Greenbergs--we hit up Three Creeks Brewery in Sisters and the Metolius River at Camp Sherman on our way home. This day was pretty much perfect. Taylor fished, and I read on the bank of the river. Then, we visited the headwaters, a site my dad took us to explore when we were kids. When we finally made it home, a friend of mine texted me: "Happy six-month anniversary!" Awe. We didn't even plan such a spectacular day. Love it.

Trying to get the perfect shot...take 1.

Take 2...

Take 3...

SMILE, TAYLOR!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Money shot. 

Luckily, there was another couple checking out the headwaters (yes, that's it in the background...just a little trickle of water coming out of the ground), and they took our tourist pic. Can you believe that little patch of mushy moss turns into the glorious waters pictured above?!
