Alive After Five

What's not to love about free outdoor concerts at the Old Mill?  A great big thank you to Nan & Pop, Auntie Kelly & Uncle Michael, and Jahla and Zoe for making our visit to Oregon spectacular!  We'll miss you guys!!  xoxo

Dinner on The Town

At a yummy new Mexican place in Bend.  Delish!

Juniper Recreation Center

Bend has (hands down) THE BEST community recreation center EVER!  We definitely need a place like this back home.

Nan and her girls.

Zipping down the waterslide!

Water gymnastics by Bree.  ;-)

King of the Playground

Sahalie Falls

On the drive back to Bend, we stopped at Sahalie Falls to check out the breathtaking sights.

Sound Sleeper!

I think she sleeps better in the great outdoors than she does in the comfort of a real bed.  <3

Camping Highlights - Day 2

Our (multiple) adjoining campsites included a super fun tire swing which provided hours of entertainment.

Doesn't matter that these two see each other only once a year.  Love how quickly they can reestablish their fondness of one another....

Nan and two of her favorite four.

The Secret Garden

Gorgeous oasis at Belknap Springs.

My Tent-Mate

Cannot resist this angelic baby face!  xoxoxo

Rise and shine!

Camping!

Night one of camping at Belknap Hot Springs.

Could sweet Zoe Rose be any cuter?  Love this kid!

It wouldn't be camping without s'mores....

....and Vegemite (ewwwww!!!!)

Mckenzie Pass

We took the scenic route to get to our camping destination.  This pic was taken at the Dee Wright Observatory at the summit of Mckenzie Pass.  A tad chilly up there!

My Fancy Flower

Brienne's Birthday (Part II -- West Coast Pizza Party!!)

Cucumber facial anyone?  Six years old, and still silly as can be.  Love this girl! xoxo

Reunited!

Nan & Pop -- Here We Come!

Ready or not!!
