OREGON

We took a trip to Oregon for Eric's Aunts wedding and made a family vacation out of it. I don't want to say it was like the "Griswold's Family Vacation" but it was. We made some great memories. We traveled up through Idaho over to Oregon then down the coast into California and Nevada. I have to say I saw some pretty amazing sights.
(None of the pictures are in order...I couldn't figure out how to move them.)

Driving through the Kalmath National Forest. You could see the road for miles and it was lines with pines the whole way.

Along the coastline in Oregon.

Newport Beach.

Going over the bridge that is pictured 

above.

I made noise at this sea lion and he turned his head and looked at us.

I was amazed at how they just put the houses in the sides of the mountains. The turquoise one was a shop with a B&B on top.

Our view from the top of the Siskiyou Mountains. I would not recommend driving over these mountains with anything other than just a truck. It was a bit scary at times.

 

At the sea lion cave. A must to stop at along the coast.

A look at the sea lions just laying on the coast cliffs.

The Wedding.

The Mr and Mrs (Chris and Wendy)

The wedding was beautiful and the view, like most things along the way was amazing.

The girls danced and danced the night away.

The kids.

Our lovely family.

The day at the beach was not warm to say the least. We were about 45 mins from the beach and when we got there the sun was gone and the fog was thick.

 

 It was also chilly.

 Glad most of us had jackets.

 Eric did not so he made due with a toe

This is the way Brylee would ride in the motorhome.

This is how everyone looked most of the time.

Aunt Wendy's home.

Sitting on the back patio.

These were the fields and fields of grape vines. You could see these for miles and miles.

Playing around

This was a little river we found while on the road.

We were able to see a car show and street festival while we were there.

This is an old hand crank snow cone machine. Very neat to see.

Also the College was having an art show. We went to that and this old tree was out in front of the school.

It was a great trip and we really had a wonderful time.

Flying Kites

They had a lot of fun when dad started helping them.

Brylee decided this was a pretty warm place to be one morning.

Kimberlen dressed as Princess Diana, for a report she did at school.

Brylee's first dentist appt. She enjoyed watching the movie.

Maycee's Birthday Parties

Maycee turns FOUR!!!




First we had a superhero birthday party with Hudson at the park with a playground and bounce houses. It was a huge hit for the kids.

Getting ready to blow out the candles.

I made her a princess themed cake.

She enjoyed each and everyone of her presents she opened. She would get super excited and tell everyone thank you after she opened it.

She would also give hugs too. She just loved the doll and jammies my mom gave her.

But I do think her favorite was her new bike.

Then we had a party at our house. She also loved each gift she received here.
She got this wallet that was one of her favorites.

And of course the other favorite was the Rapunzel dress.

Complete with wig.

She wore it the rest of the party.
She begged for an Ariel cake and she got it.

She did great at blowing out the candles and eating her cake.

Thanks to everyone!!!
