10 Year High School Reunion

We took a trip to the Oregon Zoo and rode the train around.
We ate lunch at my favorite Olive Garden and stayed for over two hours just talking! It was so much fun catching up with all my old girlfriends.

Watching the sea lions swim

I met my best friends from high school, Charise and Courtney, and their kids for a day trip to the Oregon Zoo. We got rained out and had to make a mad dash to the car.

Jordan Circus




The circus came to town at our fair grounds. There were black bears, lions, tigers, elephants and crazy tricks. We had a great time and Tytan and TJ took a ride on the elephant at intermission.

Swimming pool






The pool finally opened in Colfax! We met our friends Leona, TJ and Gordon for a swim. The weather was great and the kids had blast!

Fish




After camping we drove across the dam to see the fish museum. There were windows to see the fish swimming up the ladder and Tytan got to talk to a Chinook Salmon on the phone.

First Camping Trip





We went camping at Boyer Park for our first family camp trip of the summer. We grilled hot dogs and marshmallows to eat. It was so warm out we were sweating in our tent and no one got much sleep. The kids finally went to bed around 11 PM after Shane drove them around in the car. Then everyone was up at 5 AM. It took two days to recover from this trip. Good thing we took this practice camp out rather than going for a five day trip in remote woodlands like Shane wanted!
