State Fair

Oregon State Fair.

We love the fair.   I have always loved state fairs.  And, I am passing that on to my family....

A favorite stop is the petting zoo...

Shannon wanted to KISS every animal.  Ewwww....

Camping at South Beach

We love camping.  Especially with great friends, at the coast, with perfect weather.  I mean, really.. what else is there??

So much fun, I will let the pictures do all the talking....

Sunriver in the Summer

We were blessed to spend a weekend in Sunriver, Oregon due to a "work" engagement of Kyle's...
We typically venture out to Sunriver in the winter, so the summer was a special treat.   It was a great weekend, full of swimming, sunshine, and good food.

shirley temples... Yummy...

what to do about that hair...

play time....

* note, some of my pictures need some editing for color, but I will be playing with those later... :)

July 2011

How did I miss the month of July? Oops. I am sure we did some things.. but somehow I missed them. Here is a look into what we have been up too....

Strawberry Picking at Farmer Johns....

Fourth of July Fun at Grandma and Granddaddys.. including homemade ice cream (Shannon's favorite and a game of T ball...)

A trip to Mystic Connecticut for a friends wedding.... the Mystic Aquarium was amazing, especially the Beluga whales.... and a wooden boat show at the harbor....

Then a stop in Chicago where we went to the zoo which had an amazing butterfly exhibit...and a dolphin show which has encouraged Allie to be a dolphin trainer when she grows up.. ;)

Then there was the Lavender Festival....

We also joined our church for the annual campout, which was fun...

Goodness, I am tired just loading the photos... and I am sure I have missed a few things....
