Oregon Trip: An EXTREMELY late post
About two weeks ago, our whole family was able to take a one week long vacation to Oregon to see a few of our aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. We flew down there on Sunday night, right after church. Here's what we did:
This kind of disappointed us, especially the part about no smoking (Just Kidding)
Reading good books
James and Grace (our adorable adopted cousins) - right before we left for the picnic
Sierra - one of our very sweet cousins
A beautiful creek that was right near where we had the picnic. We went wading in it, which was really rather fun...

Church Picnic:
On Monday, the day after we arrived, we went to a church picnic put on by the church that two of my uncles and aunts attend. We had a great time, and made friends with some of the very sweet young ladies that go to the church. Afterwards, we drove down to my Grandpa and Grandma's house. It was a 4 hour drive!

The net was getting kinda low... haha
A Hike in Grants Pass:
When we got to Grants Pass, we started on activities right away. The first day of being at Grants Pass, we went on a hike with my uncle and my aunt that live there. It was just a quick 4-mile hike that goes along the Rogue River, and ends at Rainie Falls. Rainie Falls is a small waterfall, but very pretty. We got to see two rafters go down it in their kayaks, and lots of fish trying to get over it. Plus, we saw how wonderful God is, especially in creating those fish to do that. God is amazing!
Right before we left for the hike
Amazing experience: At the Falls, we had the privilege to see salmon and steelheads trying to take on Rainie Falls. It was really hard to get pictures of them, but Robin got this "fabulous" (she says so) picture of this beautiful salmon trying to get over the falls on it's way back to the nesting grounds.
Anna, watching the fish
Maria
This guy went ahead and tackled Rainie Falls in his kayak. Of course, he was probably really experience, because there have been a few fatalities there before.
Rainie Falls
Hiking... It was a really easy hike
Good Times at Grandpa and Grandma's House:
It is what it says...
Anna and Margaret
Walking...
A light bulb turned on in his head!
Wild Turkeys - sorry the picture is so blurry, but it was a little hard getting pictures of them. These turkeys came by Grandpa and Grandma's house every day, and ate apples off the apple trees. They reminded me a little of our chickens...
We saw a lot of deer there. This fawn was a twin to another fawn. VERY cute!!!
We also saw plenty of hawks and birds of prey
Time for a piggyback ride!
Rafting Trip:
The last day we were there, we went on our first rafting trip together (as a family). It was fun. They were easy rapids, so it wasn't too tough. It was the perfect time for bird watching, so we saw HUNDREDS! We weren't able to bring the camera out on the river with us to take pictures (for fear we would drop it), so the pictures at the bottom are just pictures we found online. It was fun just to spend time together. There were a few times when we had to row quickly through the rapids, but then, there were other times when it was so quiet, we could just slip out of the boat, and "swim" alongside the raft. It. was. beautiful.!
Anna - in the car, on our way to the Rogue River
Maria
A very bad picture (and that's all I'm going to say)
Margaret
We saw a bunch of blue herons on our rafting trip.
We also saw ducks...
and geese...
And even (thought we) saw a few of these "lovely" turkey vultures
The net was getting kinda low... haha

Family Camp - Family Olympics
Family Camp would never be complete with out Family Olympics, so, here I am to report on the happenings of Family Olympics. Here are pictures (lots of 'em):
Race #1: "The three-legged race" - I absolutely love the three-legged race. On this one, we only got finalists, but, hey, at least we got that far. :)
Anna & Maria - so utterly cute together
I love it!
Race #2: "The run-and-spin-with-your-head-on-the-bat-til'-you-can-no-longer-think race" - Whew! This relay race, you have to run, take the yellow bat that lays there on the ground, then, spin on it for five times, then run back without falling over from dizziness and without running into someone else, and touch your team mate's hand. We placed 3rd in this race. That's probably the best we've ever gotten...
Moms really know how to do this race!
Two little lassies, together again!
The two rather competitive people on the team - what a disaster putting them together! JK...
Mrs. D.
Marie
I love that sweet smile...
Looking very determined... kinda
Daniel and Jenna
Isaac - a photographer
Mama
Amy B.
Riley
Our Team (at least part of it, and none of them looking)
David -yet another photographer

It was a neat race where we placed a ball in between two people, and one person dragged the other person, while trying to keep the ball in place. This race was pretty tough, and near the end, we didn't do so well, but, oh well! :)
