Visiting Laurie and Bob (Oma & Opa) in Bend, OR

So, there were over 500 pictures from this trip - all from Laurie's camera! Here's a quick-ish assortment, but it was hard with so many!

Startin' him early.

This is as close as he got to getting in the stream this year. Awww, poor guy.

The next handful are from this fabulous kid's faire they had going in Bend - it's so great for such a wide age range, I'd like to go back at the same time each year for it. Both of them loved it. tattoo...
handprinting...
stuffed duck... dancing...
home-made crown and wands...

live music...
free scooter rides...
kissing booth....

my little red-neck.
Max liked the horses, too. Not as much as the ATV though. Yes, the pool toys were as big as the pool.
She was so proud!


Max couldn've spent the week in this swing - actually, he spent a good bit of it there.

This is what you call hog-heaven (for Max, notice Lila with her ears covered)
side-kick.
Notice she's in her panties and sneakers? There were so many times we'd be inside with just her t-shirt on, and she'd want to quickly go out to feed the horses or something.... it was pretty funny, especially below with one little cheek poking out.

Can I enter this in a horse magazine contest???


This is the closest we've gotten to a family picture since Max has been born. Yikes.

So far, they are fabulous travelers - I kept pinching myself!
