Trip to the River

Lots of pics-- we took a vacation down to the River Grandparents this month and had a blast. No trip is complete without a trip on Grandpa's boat. The kids were lucky and got two!


Nathan even DROVE!



We spent a day going around- stopping at Belknap Hot Springs (Grandma making sure the baby didn't get into too much trouble)



The Two Falls:



The Lava Lands at the Dee Wright Observatory(not pictured our stop in Sisters!)









I was excited to have my best friend April and her daughters join us for a few days too:




We did a lot of walking around the forest- baby sometimes was OK with not walking- other times she was NOT OK with NOT walking:


The Kiddos:


A time of being OK:


Hugging A Tree:


I felt kind of bad this summer we couldn't afford a vacation for the kids or for us- but we are so lucky to have the constant hospitality of our parents and their home in such a beautiful peaceful setting. The McKenzie River is truly a gorgeous place were I can forget about the daily stresses and enjoy some relaxing time with the family. Thanks again Carl and Sue for having us!


Other activities not pictured: Countless trips down to the river(we ran out of clean / dry clothes for Nathan on the first day, countless walks through the forest, mommy's jogging trips(yay for me), playing with the puppy(all of us- whether we liked it or not), lots of story and book reading with Grandma, dress up, yummy meals, lots of laughter and love.
