The bond will include rebuilding a 50m pool in its current location, adding a permanent bath house complete with locker rooms and concession stand and will include the District office located on site. In addition, there will be a water slide, spectator seating and an Aqua climbing wall.

  Speechless Sunday - Pups Patiently Waiting   Mel took this shot of some adorable pups patiently waiting for their owner outside the Grocery Outlet in The Dalles, Oregon. It's not uncommon to find dogs waiting in pick-up beds, but this is the first time I've seen some move up onto the cab for a better view. I love how diligently and eagerly they await their master's return.

  Speechless Sunday - Youth Football Jamboree... Let the Season Begin!   Yesterday, our 11 year old, Ben, played for Hood River in The Dalles, Oregon in his football jamboree, the official kick-off of the 2012 football season. Youth tackle football is vastly popular in the Columbia River Gorge, starting in the 3rd grade. It's such a great community experience. This photo is the first play of the first game on which Hood River scored its first touchdown against Goldendale. Go Hood River!
