Oregon Adventures

This was the summer all of us siblings ventured up to Oregon and visited for a week with Jess,Chad, the kids, Corey, Martika, and the twins. Our week was full of maybe one lazy day. We did just about something everyday. So many great memories!

Me & the dogs hitched a ride with J&B and kids.We drove up to Fresno to visit with Britts cousin to help break up the drive a bit. The dogs did pretty well on the drive. They slept most of the way and were most comfortable when I fell asleep and then they jumped on my lap and fell asleep. They had to share a kennel for space purposes. Evan was so great and worked for me so that I could spend more time with my family. I flew him up mid-week.

The kids played outside alot. They were always in clothes, then in their bathing suits, then back in clothes..there was also some rat killing in the barn going on for the older more mature crew..

A day at the Broken Dam. Water was cold, but the sun was warm and bright.

 A day at the indoor aquatic center.

Hanging out enjoying the beautiful weather. Eating lunch and dinners outside.

The ladies had a day out. We went school shopping for the kiddos, had a nice lunch at Olive Garden, and got pedicures. It was a nice quiet afternoon out. Loved spending time with my sisters and Mom (we missed you Jen).

The guys also had their own day going drop line fishing on a big boat. Seemed to have a good time!

Off to the Zoo with all the kids!

More Zoo!

Charlotte turned 8. Jason and Charlotte were baptized on the same day. Glad we were able to be there for that. We went to Hometown buffet afterwards. And then headed to Claires to get Charlotte's ears pierced. 

Gotta love this crazy bunch. There are so many of us now. We headed home Sunday after a great week together. Ev & I rode home with J&B and crew. We stopped in Sacramento for the night and continued our journey the next day. It was a long drive and I can't say I will ever want to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked thanks to Rubi. She really likes that movie. So thankful to J&B for carting us around. So thankful for my family. 

August 4th, 2012-August 12th, 2012 a great week to remember!
