Summer!!!

A couple of weeks after moving and Brandon's surgery we headed to Utah, Idaho and Oregon for some family time. We first stopped in Utah and spent a day at Lagoon. We had a blast and I was surprised that my two older kids were not afraid of roller coasters!!! Natalie and I spent most of the time together doing rides she could ride.
 After Lagoon we drove the next day to Idaho where we surprised my Gram for a short visit.
 I have lots of fond memories playing her backyard.
Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me!
It was hard saying goodbye. Gram is starting to loose her short term memory and spent the last ten minutes repeating the same conversation of goodbyes. 
Next we surprised Brandon's grandparents and chatted with them until it was time to get dinner and head back to the hotel. We enjoyed every minute we got to spend with both of our grandparents.
First stop in Oregon this year was a much needed break at the beach!
We stayed at the Inn at Cannon Beach for two nights. We had a lot of fun and hope to do it again someday in the future!  

I love flowers and have always wanted to photograph them!
Chasing birds
Riley and I are working on a characterized picture story with the photos we took at the new Tillamook! Here is a sneak peak at the cover page. 
We also visited the Tillamook Forrest on our way home.
Fun with cousins!
Poor Uncle Kyle didn't stand a chance.
It was a fast and crazy trip, but the kids said it was one of the best trips we have done!
