We enjoyed blueberry picking with the family! It's one of our favorite summertime traditions. 
It'd been a few years since we'd been to hike the Cascades, so we decided to go while we were already halfway there. We've gone a few times during Labor Day weekend after apple picking, but the VT students definitely dominate the trails and pool at the base of the waterfall. We thought it'd be shaded enough to be cool (it wasn't) and not as crowded (it wasn't too bad). We knew the water would be refreshing once we got there but it was actually too cold to get in to, according to 3 out of 4 of us. 
Owen was the only one who braved getting his whole body in the water. After he did, he had a great time!
Like I said, he will do karate anywhere!
We hung out by the water for about 45 minutes then it started to sprinkle. It didn't really matter since Owen was already wet and the rest of us had been prepared to get wet. As we started to walk back, it really started raining! We made the mistake of not taking the fire road back, so it was pretty slow-going since the rain made the rocks so slick. It rained for probably the first mile of our trip back! This video doesn't quite do it justice:
