Cooper Mtn Nature Park

If your looking for a great hike... this is it!

We spent about an hour wondering on the trails..

This was fun!
You can hear all types of birds and sounds...

Beaver Baseball!

Last night we went to the Portland Beaver game!

(or should I say the Beaverton Beavers.. lol)

I haven't been to a game in 6 years..

Lots of fun and an inexpensive evening =)

And It always helps to have good company!

Me, Elliot and Katherine!
