Oregon Trip-Part 1

In June, quite unexpectedly, we went on a trip to Oregon. My best friend's brother was getting married, but I didn't think we would be able to go, because Dan's work was so busy. But, he surprised me and we decided to go ahead and go anyway!

Look at the boys, this is how they looked during the entire 14 hour drive! Glued to the XBox. I never thought I would say this, but THANK HEAVENS FOR XBOX!!!
About an hour from my hometown of Forest Grove, we passed by Multnomah Falls. It is so gorgeous, but even though I've passed it hundreds of times, this was the first time I can ever remember stopping to actually see it up close.
Isn't it gorgeous? Dan took these fun pictures of Mason (they were the only ones willing to hike up where it gets you pretty wet)

You can see our camera lens just kept getting wetter and wetter.

Wow! I am jealous. Those pictures are beautiful and when do the pictures ever do the actual thing justice. So if they are that beautiful in the pictures I could only imagine. Looks like you guys had a blast. While I was looking at your pictures of your cute boys it made me think that you could make anyone only want to have boys. You family is soooo cute. Anyway I know that may not have made any sense. I miss you and I am so excited to spend next week with you!! :) We are going to have so much fun.

Amen to how great the Xbox is on trips. That and a good supply of movies they'll watch. I don't know how our parents did it without them. You are having a fun summer!
