Totally WICKED Oregon Trip!

We had SUCH a wonderful trip to Oregon. It was absolutely perfect. Here are some highlights:

The kids were awesome on the car ride. Isaac even let Joe sleep on his shoulder. Awwww, so cute!


First we stopped and saw our cousins in Boise. We got to help them feed the ducks, eat yummy food, help them construct a playhouse, and wrestle in Nacho Libre masks!

In Oregon, we went on the most gorgeous hike EVER! I enjoyed every second of it. We went with our former neighbors. The pictures don't do this place justice. Seriously, it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been.






The beach. Kind of a let down. It was cold and foggy, but my crazy boys still got into the water.




The Gilbert House--A children's museum in Salem. Totally fun!


Lyss and Link having a tea party. Ike and Joe in somebody's stomach. Yum!



Alyssa in a bubble.

Swen's (and Jeff's) birthday party--We got to see many of our "Oregon friends." It was so much fun!


Wicked was TOTALLY WICKED! I felt like I was going to cry the whole time because I was so excited and the music was so beautiful and I was sitting next to my baby and it was so wonderful. sigh...

I'm ready to do it all over again...

It is so fun to see your pictures. I'm glad you guys had such a good time. We are ready for a trip somewhere, but I guess we will have to settle for a baby instead.:) I was fun talking to you yesterday. Hopefully we can get together soon!
