Family Road Trip

The second weekend in August we embarked on our first ever (with both girls) family road trip. Our destination was Reno, NV to visit my parents and meet up with my brother’s family. We took the middle route on our way down which took us through central Oregon. On our way home we drove the coastal route up the 101. It was fun, but exhausting traveling with little ones. We sure did see a lot though!

We started the trip with a drive along the Columbia River to see the gorge and several beautiful waterfalls. We tried to see Oneonta Falls, but after climbing a giant log jam and wading through knee deep water, we decided not to finish through chest deep waters. Next time we will all bring our swim suits :)

That evening we made it to Bend for a short visit with my cousins and their cute kids!

Camano Island

August was a full month! At the start of it we spent a weekend away with Todd’s family on Camano Island. It was a beautiful area and the girls had fun throwing rocks, playing in the sand, and collecting shells at the different beaches. We also visited a sculpture garden with several interesting art pieces.

Faithlife Picnic

“Oh man” (as Ada would say), summer is over and I am waaaay behind on blogging. I plan to catch up but life is busy with two kids, vacations, projects, and now starting homeschool!

Back in July we had Todd’s company picnic which is always fun. This year Ada seemed all grown up and wanted to try everything. Ruby enjoyed the petting zoo and getting to run around.
