Silverton, OR trip to the cabin

On Saturday morning, we drove south to Silver Falls, OR to visit Great-Grandpa Ervin's cabin and woods. While we were there, we hiked through the brush back to the cabin that he stayed in as a young boy. Although we brought a key, it was not the right one, so we were unable to go inside. When we peaked in through the front door, it was like a trip back in time, with a blanket still laying over the back of the couch as well as a rug on the floor. It was so fun to see my great-grandpa take this trip back in time as well.

The Fox tails that were growing wild all over the wooded property. They were so beautiful.

Smelling the flowers :)


Giggling about something.


Being silly when grandma asked her to smile.

Emma walking through the trails with her great-grandpa Ervin. The sun was shining so perfectly! It was so neat.



Searching for pinecones "One for me, and one for Sonja." The two that she chose made it back to Seattle. She was able to give one to Sonja and keep one for herself.  Sonja wasn't as interested in them as Emma was, but it was sweet for her to share the gift.
