We went to La Grande in July to visit Rob's family. It was such a fun trip. The kids are getting better and better at traveling. The kids are growing bigger though, so the car seems to be getting smaller. Ha ha. Zac left a week early to hang out with his cousin and their family on their camping trip. Since there was an empty seat in Zac's absence on the trip up, it was a really comfortable trip. :) We stopped by and visited Rob's dad in the rehab place he's been in. It was really nice to see him and chat for a while.
We got to go to church with grandma and spend some time at the hotel pool. We also got to celebrate Riley's birthday a day early. She turned 9.
On Riley's actual birthday we traveled to Portland to be with Uncle Luke and then continued on to stay with my brother and his family and to reunite with Zac.
These pictures are out of order. But it takes too long to drag them into the right order. So just read the caption underneath.
Riley woke up as a 9 year old in the hotel room!
We went to church with grandma and got to stay after for food.
Sisters on Riley's birthday. We were still without Zac. He was having a blast with his cousin Calvin.
Bubble beards in the hot tub.
Here's Sadie trying to tackle Rob in the water. She did not win.
Emery was an expert at gathering all the bubbles.
Finley also loved the hot tub.
We made everyone take a nap on Sunday because we left for La Grande around 2:30 pm so we didn't get there until 10 pm or so. They all said they weren't tired....
But they all slept for a couple hours.
That is, once we separated them. They were trying to nap in the same bed and that was not working! Once we separated them, they fell right to sleep.
After church picture. We do this every time we go to La Grande.
Here are a couple pictures from Zac with his cousins. Here they are skipping rocks.
Stacking water bottles.
They stopped at the beach on the way home and it was super foggy. Typical Oregon coast.
Rest stop in Idaho.
Visiting grandpa.
Start of our adventure!
Sadie got back from trek, came home and showered, then we left for La Grande. Lucky her...she was so tired!
