A Perfect Visit

While we love where we live, we know that our super remote location makes it a hard trip for most visitors.  So Camdyn and Lilly were extra excited when they found out that their Boise friends Sam and Eli were going to make a special stop in Enterprise on their way home from a NW road trip!  Although the visit was much too short, it was packed full of fun!  Golfing, minnow hunting and a special dinner at Terminal Gravity quickly filled the day.....and we are hoping they had so much fun they will make their way back here soon!

Best in Show

While Camdyn has always enjoyed watching her old cousin Ashley strut her stuff at the Wallowa County fair, she was thrilled that she was finally old enough to enter a few items of her own.  Carefully selecting some favorite sewing projects and a few special vegetables from her garden, she proudly dropped them off and hoped for the best!  On opening day, we nervously biked to the Exhibition Hall and were super excited to see two blues and a red donning our work!  In true Camdyn fashion, she is already busily planning her entries for next year.........

Our New Friends

Inspired by our friend Jonah and his creative Aunt Kim, the girls and mom gathered up some old boxes and tubes, headed to the hardware store for some spray paint and busted out the glue gun to create some robotic friends of our own!  Unfortunately, while they were super fun to put together, they have required more than a dozen "robot surgeries" in order to stay in playing shape.  However, mom made sure they were good for at least one photo shoot!

Date with Daddy

We were lucky to find a quick break between fires and steal daddy away for a day at the Water park!  While the girls always love quality time with dad, there is just something extra special about sprinklers, slides and splashing buckets.

A Long Awaited Stop

Although we pass Multnomah Falls every time we head to Portland, I am usually too close to the final destination to even think of stopping.  Instead I simply ignore begging, whining and complaining and keep on promising a stop the "next time." 

Well, I was all out of excuses, and with two very hyper travelers was willing to burn a bit of energy!  Both girls LOVED the hike, falls and ice cream involved in our little adventure, and this mom is more than ready to pull over again sometime soon.

We Miss You Already!!!

From fireworks to giant fish, we had a great time showing Uncle Alan, Aunt Claire and Dawson some of our favorite places in Wallowa County.  A little bit of hiking, a lot of wet time, way too much eating and even a black bear sighting made a week full of memories!  Thanks for the visit California Weers, we miss you already!

Under the Sea

While it was a far cry from Sea World, Camdyn and Lilly both loved our adventure to the Portland Aquarium during a recent work trip for Mom.  From Jelly Fish to Rays, the girls were able to get up close and personal with some of the animals we had only seen in pictures, and further foster a love for any and all members of the animal kingdom.
