.:Oregon Trip:.

Back in June, the girls and I decided to head up to Klamath for a week to spend time with our family up there. We were lucky, and got to fly instead of drive! I think most people in the airport thought I was crazy when they saw a pregnant woman traveling alone with three young kids, but in all honesty, these three girls couldn’t have been any more well behaved! They were so perfect on their flights, I even had people coming up to me afterwards to tell how impressed they were with how they behaved.

I think they were a little bit excited.

Gramzee picked us up at the airport in Portland, and then we stopped for a snack a drink before continuing on to Salem. We had a picnic at the park with Ben and Dani and their families, which meant lots of cousin fun!

The next morning, we went out raspberry picking. It was so much fun! We picked so many, and of course had to sample what we were picking along the way.

We went to another park to enjoy some lunch and playing before we had to go get ready for Grayson’s baptism. We felt so lucky that we got to be there to see Grayson be baptized. All of his cousins that were there sang I Am A Child of God during the baptism.

It was a really special day, and we loved being a part of it.

Then it was time to head home to Gramzee and Grandpa Paul’s for the rest of the week! The girls were in heaven with Chaska (dog), the chickens, horses, and seeing wildlife running around.

We spent as much time at the pool as we could. Reece got really confident with her life jacket on; I know she would do really well with some swim lessons or more access to a pool. She was jumping off the rocks with her cousins and loving every minute of it! Harper even got brave with the life jacket on and would float out a ways.

There was lots of fun to be had on the swings and four wheelers as well! Even Rem went for a few rides!

Harper and Bobo buddied up; those two sassy little blondes have very similar personalities and temperments!

Reece and Tay – the almost kindergartners!

Gramzee and Grandpa Paul also have a zipline. Reece and Harper LOVED it! It is such a fun thing for the kids to do up there.

It was Andi’s birthday while we were there, so we spent her birthday day eating pizza, decorating cupcakes, and going to the movies to see How to Train Your Dragon 2. That pretty much included all of our favorite things to do, and we had a great time!

We spent a lot of time just playing outside. There is so much to do at Gramzee and Grandpa Paul’s house; we were always having fun!

We had a S’MORES bar our last nite there; it was the perfect way to end our trip!

We had such a wonderful week, and went to bed exhausted, dirty, and happy every nite. We are so excited we get to go back soon! But we definitely were ready to see Daddy. We had a bit of a stressful drive to the airport (dang traffic!) but luckily we made it!
