We just returned from the most wonderful vacation to Oregon with my parents and the kids. It was definitely an adventure for us and the kids taking the train for over thirty hours to get there! We got to see some beautiful scenery and eat some amazing food but the highlight of the trip was getting to see my Aunt Yoly and Uncle Dan who I hadn't seen in 14 years!! It was great to finally introduce them to my family :) It was also awesome to hang out with my cousin David, Ashley, and Cambria who we only see about once a year! I took over 200 pictures but here are a few or the best moments we had while over there. Enjoy!
Arriving at the LA train station. We were all so excited about getting on the train!!
Grandpa and the babies waiting to board the train.
Mia and Grandma taking a nap.
Two of the rare moments Lincoln was enjoying the train ride. We were so desperate to find something for him to do we gave him a box of kleenex to destroy. He had a great time and we had a few moments of peace. And we got a great picture!
The view of the lake from our porch!! So peaceful.
The kids and Cambria enjoying the vacation house.
David, Cambria, and Lincoln. Wow, it was such a treat to spend time with my cousin David and his beautiful family!!!!!
Grandma and the girls on the porch of our house. What a beautiful view and an awesome porch! The girls and Lincoln had so much fun playing out there.
Me and David on the boat on the lake waiting to be rescued. Our boat died on us just a few feet from the dock! On the bright side we got a slow tow to the rental dock and got to see a lake wedding! We still enjoyed the gorgeous scenery and were entertained by David's jokes :) (more pictures to come of the girls' boat ride)
