First was a quick weekend trip with good friends, camping on the beach. Weather report said 80 degrees and sunny so we all jumped in the car and headed out. Well it was more like 65 and foggy, but we all had a great time together.


Even Mae had a good time!
Then we were off to Bend Oregon for a week and a half. The 2 day drive was worth it. So many hikes, river walks and family time. I think we were all ready to pack up and move......well except for Emma, she's not a fan of chilly weather. You'll notice in most pictures she's wearing two fleece hooded jackets!

There is over 50 miles of river trail to explore. We did quite a few miles over that week.


Really cool hike. Very thankful for a stroller that can takes a few bumps along the trail and a husband that enjoys pushing it.

Our first fishing trip with the girls was a little bit of a bust. It was 40 minutes from the house and there was still snow on the ground. We were a little cold until the sun came out. Emma was not happy, Avila on the other hand was thrilled and determined to catch a fish.

No fish today, but she tried!

More hikes!

And a chipmunk with a death wish. It wanted in the stroller!!


Success at the local fishing pond!


Yes, this is when the kids thought the snow was fun......the fun feelings didn't last once they got cold. :)

Went out in style....we hiked that! It was not easy!
Got home on a Sunday night and left for Disneyland 4 days later! Avila drew a crowd dancing on the streets of downtown Disney. She even got a tip for the show!

Here's the highlights........

Emma met her best friend. She didnt want to leave. She just snuggled and snuggled!

Avila danced with Cinderella!

Chip sat and colored with us for a while.....I think he had a crush on Emma.

Dancing with Papa.

Meeting Winnie the Pooh.

Spending time with my family!
It was a great trip, but we had to hurry back for Avila's first ballet recital!


The off to Napa the next weekend to see Uncle Stephen and Auntie Megan
And 1 week later it was Emma's birthday!


What better place to eat for the pancake loving birthday girl than IHOP.

The highlight of her party was the popcorn table.....seriously.

....and the sandbox.



Love these crazy girls!
