Oregon


Yeah! We visited Oregon for a week at the end of July. Taylor LOVED visiting with everyone and hanging out in his CARS stroller. We visited a Lavender Farm, saw the coast, Duane caught a nice salmon (nothing like fresh salmon..yum), had a couple of parties, and saw Grandpa Tony win 2nd place in the team roping competition at the local rodeo. Overall, it was a fun filled week of WARM weather (Las Vegas temperatures...we just can't escape it) and warm memories. Wow, that was corny :) The trip ended eventfully as our plane was delayed because the airport ran out of fuel. Does that really happen? Apparently, it can and does at a small airport.

Great Grammie Alma and Taylor at their SWEEEEET cabin


This cabin rocks! It is on the other side of their property and doesn't have electricity or cell service. It is so cute and a wonderful retreat from the stresses of life. Old country living. Everyone should have a place like this! (It was also the site of a date Duane took me out on when I first visited Oregon...I think we got attacked by a bat living in the rafters..it was awesome)

Enjoying a little fudge refreshment. It was hot!
