is spending time outdoors.  Today I am participating again in 
Kate's "Fun Fridays"
 Blog Party and the topic is "
favorite sumer outing".
Well, for us I cannot limit what our one most favorite summer outing is. All of us love to be outdoors
|  | 
| Hiking in the Columbia Gorge | 
and I really cannot limit it to one single activity. 
|  | 
| Urban Hike | 
We actually love to be outdoors year round, regardless of weather and where ever we are :)
|  | 
| Sightseeing in Nuremberg | 
|  | 
| Swimming at the Lake of Constance | 
 When we are here in Oregon Camping is usually one of the highlights of our summer, this one thing that we did not do a lot of this summer.  Besides that we love to go to the beach - the Oregon Coast is just a little over an hour away -
