Quick K-Falls trip w/pics

Where to begin! I decided we needed to get down to see my mom and soon after her heart spells so we took off Tuesday morning and got back tonight (Thursday evening). A very quick trip that ended up being half business but at least we got to sit down and talk with my parents face to face!! I've got to say it really doesn't look good. She has congestive heart failure and is retaining fluid. Because of her weakness and fluid retention and now needing to be on oxygen 24/7 the doctor wants to see her again next week. My dad's dementia is getting worse as well so we'll see where things are in the next year for both of them.

My cousin took Christina and I out to lunch at the Crazy R Pizza today before we left. They have some EXCELLENT gluten free pizza! As well as a really nice salad bar. I would think that their regular pizza would be pretty good if that gluten free pizza is anything to go by!

Below are some pictures from our trip and pictures of my brother's dogs. He's got quite the bunch of them but they actually do quite well typically. Unless someone drives into the driveway then it gets VERY noisy! :)  The boarder collie (Maggie) is quite hilarious to watch sometimes. Today they were trying to get her in the house and she went and hid behind a chair and was peeking out. It was quite obvious she was trying to hide. Then when they said no, get in she got this smile. I couldn't get a picture of the smile but she does smile!

We got stopped due to road construction going down. This was our view. Gorgeous! But mid April and absolutely no snow was on the pass at all!! Not good!!

Mt. Hood

The rest stop before Chiloquin on the way down is right next to the river.  

I really like this profile picture of Christina!

The river!

Interesting mossy tree at the rest stop

The crew :)

Maggie being a love bug

Patches- She actually tends to think she's a dog! She'll actually make barking noises! 

If you look real close you'll see a crane- it blends in with the clouds!

I'm leaving this one extra large because it allows you to see Mt. Hood better! This was on the way down. It was gorgeous when we left but as you saw above it was a tad wet on the way back!!
