A summer vacation in Hood River has become one of our traditions. This is the condo we usually stay in... it's in the downtown area which is really convenient.
This was the girls' third time doing windsurfing camp. Here is a photo of Lauren windsurfing... she is near the center of this photo.

Emily was windsurfing way out in the distance.
You can barely see Emily out in the distance towards the left in this photo. Lauren is in the life jacket, exiting the water.

Lauren made these cute earrings at one of the local bead shops.
Emily made a pretty bracelet.
The girls' friend Amanda also does windsurfing camp with them. After camp the girls eat dinner and hang out. They have so much fun together!
Beautiful day for a group bike ride! The girls were really excited that Grandpa and Grandma Rufener came down for part of the week.
One of the camp days was not windy, so the girls got to try out stand up paddleboarding.

Mike's Ice Cream is always a favorite dessert spot.
The scenery along the historic Columbia River Highway trail is beautiful!
We also celebrated Justin's birthday while we were there!
The Hood River community pool is one of our favorites. Here is Emily going down the slide.
