I debated back and forth for a while whether I actually wanted to make the 12 hour drive with the boys for my cousin's wedding. But then I decided that family comes first and we don't get together very often and I wanted to see everyone. Besides the boys would not stop talking about going to Oregon. I searched for any reason not to make the drive but in the end I was antsy to get out of the house and take a trip.
The boys were actually a dream on the trip there. (well compared to worst case scenario which I expected). We did have 1 1/2 bathroom accidents and a juice spillage but things could have been a LOT worse. We left about 4:30 thursday morning and rolled in around 3:30 pm.
My Dad had made lots of preparations for our arrival which you will see from the pictures:
Story time with Grammy before bed
Elevator chair my dad rigged up to a winch
It is hard to tell but it actually goes up pretty high
the baby swing fashioned to the zip line from the house to the tree house
View of MT. Hood from my parents house
Kite flying in the pasture
Darren's turn on the zip line
Great Grandpa with his boys
My sweet blue eyed boy
Cordon giving out flowers. What a sweetie
Perfect day for a kite
Loving being outside and playing in the dirt.
So I never actually got to see my cousin get married. right as the ceremony was beginning Cordon announced that he needed to pee pee. so I rushed him out and opted to stay outside rather than come back in and be a distraction. Oh well, I got to wish them well and we didn't disrupt the wedding so I think it was a success. It was a great trip and the boys had a blast!The trip home did not go as well and the 12 hour trip turned into 16 with a major poop incident but now we are home and the car is thoroughly cleaned and detailed so all I have are good memories! Thanks mom and dad for letting the tornado rip apart your house......again.
