Oregon trip

I have been slacking on writing blogs so I wanted to go ahead and share our Oregon trip. We were there in the middle of July and were able to be there for Dad's 50th birthday bash, it was so nice to see everyone. The weather was lovely that day! It rained a bit while we were there which was unfortunate (in all my life living there it has never rained in July-and it prevented us from doing some of the activities we had planned). However, it was so beautiful and so nice to enjoy a lttle rain while Texas so desperately needed it!
We were camping and on the morning of our 2nd day it started to rain.

We ended up hanging out for a while in Grandma and Grandpa's motohome, which was so nice for Kennadi not to be in the rain. The men were outside all bundled up around the fire having man talk while the women and children read and played in the motorhome.
I went walking with K and Granpa S and his wife Darlice showed up just in time for us to decide to pack up, with thunder storm warnings I didn't think it would be much fun with a baby at night so sadly there was no playing in the river or watching the kids play on the sandy beach part (this year there was no sandy beach part because the water was so high)

Nina loves!

Never seen a dog love water so much, our dog hates it, but not Mr. Gusterson (Gus) He loved being in the water and chasing whatever you would throw in for him, he actually retrieves sticks and then Tanner was throwing rocks and he ended up scooping one up with his paw and retrieving that as well, it was so fun to watch him!
