I want to blog - really I do! I love reading other people's blogs, their lives sound so interesting. But mine is maybe a little interesting too - at least to me & my family & my friends, so here goes - again - off into the blog world.
Last time I blogged, (3 years ago!) I was wrapping up summer,
and that's where we are again now. I love Fall & Back to School time, it always seems even better than New Year's as a time to get 'organized' (of some sort), back in a routine (school, activities) and just 'get it together' for as long as we can hold it together!!
This summer we had a family trip to Southern Oregon to my cousin's wedding. On the way we stopped at a pretty waterfall. I love waterfalls!
The wedding ended up being like a family reunion - so that was fun. My parents, aunt & uncle & cousins & us all stayed in the same motel for a couple nights. Had dinner together, hung out at the pool. It was great. The little cousins got to dress up at the wedding & the bubble blower was very popular!
On the way back we stopped at Crater Lake. "Mr D." (hubby) had never been. I hadn't been in years. We drove around one side of the lake, I had to stop at every view point to look and take lots of pictures.
"The Girl's" favorite thing was the chipmunks at the rim. There were some birds & the chipmunks, and people were feeding them, even though the signs said "Do Not Feed". She tried to take a picture of one chipmunk - and I caught the picture of her with another chipmunk sneaking up behind her!!
Further along on our way home we stopped up by Mt. Hood at SkiBowl Adventure Camp. 'The Girl' is a bit of a Dare Devil. She loved the bungie trampoline & was disappointed that they wouldn't let her climb the big rock wall. She had to settle for the kiddy 6ft wall - Boring! And she drove a 'race car'!
After we got home we still had a day before we had to go to work so we made a family trip to the Zoo. It was a nice little family vacation.
Now we're getting ready for Back To School - but that's a blog for another day....
