Earlier this month, we took a vacation to Oregon. It was a wonderful time. The weather was turning crisp, but not too cold. We only got a drizzle of rain on one day, which was fine for us: we never see the stuff. The leaves were turning and it really felt like autumn.
As an added bonus, I was able to reconnect with some old high school friends (without Facebook, by the way) which was super fun. Steph and Kevin have the cutest girls and I loved seeing the boys playing with dollhouses and princess dress-up toys! Tara has a little boy on the way, so we're excited about that too.
One of the days, we decided to go and feed the ducks which was very thrilling. The only kind of wildlife we see in Phoenix besides pigeons, are the crickets and scorpions (boo) living near us. We tore up some bread slices and gave the Salem ducks and geese quite a feast.
They boys and I went out early to see Nana, Papa and Uncle Andrew. There was a little "snafu" when we arrived because Josh threw up all over my parents car on the way home from the airport. Thankfully, nothing else eventful occured on the flight and the boys were perfect angels. Upon arrival, Jacob kept asking when we were going to "see Oregon," and we kept emphasizing that we were "in Oregon."
One of our favorite parts was playing at the park with Nana and Papa. The boys couldn't get enough! What a wonderful park Salem's riverfront park is. The boys also took full advantage of the carousel rides.
We always cherish our times in Oregon. We can't wait until our next Oregon trip!
