Last part of vacation... Oregon

After the big party, and the weekend in California, we went to work for 5 days, and both had a week off.. so after all the go go go pace that we had been doing for 2 weeks (it was fun, but exhausting!) we decided when we got to Oregon we were NOT going to worry about anything but relaxing! and we did.


The view up in Oregon! Its so green and pretty! but to get that way it has to rain all the time!

Booda and LuLu hit it off (shes my parents' puppy.) they played so much!


and here is the boys. tuckered out from a days worth of activity!

We took a trip across the street to the river.. we introduced Booda to the water. He did NOT like it! i tricked him one time by wading out into the water and calling him.. he ran right in, but freaked out when he realized he was in the water. He doesn't like to get wet!

the whole time we were there, joe kept saying "i cant believe you got to grow up here" he took this pic of our "swimmin hole"

here is booda after his run in the river.. he was quite mad at us for tricking him...

We went up to the falls one of the days we were up there.. Those of the family that have been there have had SO MUCH FUN there! its a natural waterfall that you can slide down or jump off. it was just perfect for swimming, since it was late august and the level of the water went down... Just as everyone else, Joe LOVED it!

Here is Joe, my mom, and my sister making the trek up the mountain. its VERY slippery so you have to be careful!

Yaay they made it! they are at the top!

My mom is sliding down the falls in this picture.. shes in the blue...


and here is everyone standing up there. usually it takes awhile to get the nerve to take the initial plunge into it... we debate, and check stuff out, and then someone decided to jump in! after the first time, then it takes nothing to keep going!
