Oregon Reunion

We had a great time at our family reunion in Oregon the first week of July. My amazing Grammy rented us 6 beautiful cabins in Mt. Bachelor Village in Bend, OR. The weather was perfect and we really enjoyed spending the 4th of July with family we haven't seen in a long time.

Matt went on a 25 mile bike ride with a total drop of 3,000 feet. He said they went off 12 foot table tops. Mind you... this is my husband who spends his days at the office. He came back with bruises and scratches all over his whole body but said he really enjoyed himself. He and Brynn also rented tubes with some of my other family and floated down the river. They came back with big smiles and blue lips. :) I went on a beautiful hike with my mom, cousins, and all of the kids. Brynn decided to stop hiking as we turned to head home so yours truly got to carry her and Gavin the 1 1/2 miles back. She was obviously pretty tired though cause this is what she did as soon as she walked in the door to our cabin.


We celebrated Grammy's 90th birthday in style at a beautiful restaurant in downtown Bend. We got to here stories of her life that most of us have never heard and shared many laughs.




One night my sister-in-laws, cousins, and sister Julia and I went to Twilight. I decided I can't see those movies at the theater any more. I laugh at all the wrong spots and leave feeling like I wasted another $9. It was fun spending time with the girls though ;).

There was a river right by the cabins so we had to walk down to play in it a couple of times.






We had a blast & it was great to get away for a few days. Our new van was very comfy and the kids traveled really well. We decided we will have to take lots more road trips in the near future.
