Wallowa Lake trip

Its a little late but here are a collection of photos from when +Amanda Polehn, our girls and I went to Wallowa Lake for a few days.  All and all it was one of my favourite vacations we have had as a family.

This deer was a little infatuate with Amanda followed us around until a dog finally chased it away.

Giant chair for the "Resort" we stayed at.


We did eventually get out on the lake in a boat.  Lucy conquered her fears and claims it was her favourite part :)









This is apparently what you do when you get a hole in one.


It's kind of funny to me how you can live in a state for your whole life and still find great new places to go.  I didn't even realize that there were mountains this big this far east in Oregon.

I'd definitely like to do this again.  Spending time on the lake and just hanging out in our cabin was nice and relaxing.  Not only that but the town of Joseph was a pretty neat little place with cool public art, mainly bronze sculptures, and a neat little down town to explore.

Happy incarnation day.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Jesus was and is the God of the bible.  Today we celebrate him coming as a helpless child.  Happy incarnation day! http://bible.us/John1.14.ESV

If you write a blog and never post it to Facebook will anybody read it?

My guess is no...  Let's test the hypothesis! Facebook and similar "social" feeds feel so bad to my soul.  I find them as a total waste of time and it's time to really really delete these things once and for all.  I've been hanging onto Instagram as I find it much less toxic.  Pictures often give off a more positive vibe than your aunts reshare of politically slanted news or your neighbor's cousin's wall of text complaining about how there is not Olive Garden within 100 miles of their house.  However, that doesn't change the fact that I am the product being sold on this Instagram.  Algorithms are being worked out to find just the right number of post to leave in between advertisements for me to feel most engaged and most likely to click.  Which news parody sites or webcomics I should like next are also constantly being updated and reconfigured based on my behaviour.  Facebook and its subsidiaries are not the only companies with this massive ...
