Hood River 2022

Guess what? I’ve been busy. I am working on jumping my bike.

I discovered the joy of a good Cuban sandwich.

And I watched Iron Chef on Netflix with The Bigs. It inspired me to create some new recipes. This is a grilled fried rice sandwich.

Here I am making a dessert recipe.

Wasn’t half bad!

And while Mom made Dad peach salad and rice noodle salad for his birthday,

I made dessert. Apples, peanut butter, melted chocolate chips, and avocado chocolate ice cream.

Next up we went to Hood River for the week. I biked through a tunnel like the Tour de France riders.

Had my favorite breakfast, the bagel, egg, and ham sandwich.

Hiked to Umbrella Falls.

Did some swimming. See the buoys behind me.

I swam to them when Mom wasn’t looking. Startled her a bit.

Worked on jumping my bike some more.

Went cherry picking.

We picked this on Wednesday. By Sunday it was all gone.

I did a paddle boarding clinic with a 3x world champion stand up paddle boarder. This was the warm up:

And made lots of mischief with my buddy Kailia

And now I am packed and ready for my next adventure…

Wow !!what a busy guy you are. I can see why the Bigs are always exhausted. I’m starting to worry about my kitchen with all the cooking you do. Maybe it’s a good thing though. Gives me a break. Did you really swim out that far?? Good for you. Looks like paddle boarding and bike jumping are easily accomplished by you. I loved the dessert but would have left out the avacado.

Whew!! What a busy week! Looks as though you thoroughly enjoyed every minute! One question I have though…. Was your face an expression of ‘joy’ with the Cuban sandwich? I think it would be too spicy for me😵!
Love the photo of you in the hollowed out tree.
Can’t wait to see you on the 30th!! 🥰
