Vaction Wonderfulness Continued

Day 5: 

On the Road--Eugene, OR to Cottonwood, ID

508 Miles

Our first "stretch your legs" break was at Multnomah Falls in Northern Oregon. Noah absolutely loved it!  He kept calling it "big, big water" and was very sad to leave.  On our stop we saw that there was a trail to the top that was about a mile long, so we promised Noah we'd stop and hike it on our way back home.

The train was exciting until he saw the falls!

The upper half

The lower half

 Looking over the bridge that divides the two halves.

Back to sleep

Second stop was in Pomeroy, WA where Noah had a blast playing in the rocks.

Days 6-10:
Fun with Grandma

Grandma's cane alternated between being a guitar and a vacuum.

Helping with the flowers

Wait! Grandma needs that!

Hiking in the Monastery's forest.

Where's Noah?

Playing at the park in Cottonwood

Playing with Mona

An afternoon stroll with Sr. Placida

Back at the park

I sure hope those poles aren't supposed to be structural...

Bubble fun with Daddy

I guess that didn't smell so good...

An evening stroll around the grounds

What do you mean this is our last night here?!

Bye bye Grandma!  We had a blast!

Ok, that's all for now, but there is still more to come!

Giant Picture Upload of Vacation Goodness!!!

Day 1 Continued...

I realized that I forgot some pictures from the first couple days, so here you go.

 

Ada and Navi being cute

We managed to get three 17 month olds, a 3 year old, and five adults to look at a self timed camera on the very first shot...and then there's Victor.

After leaving the Lopezjones family in the park, the rest of the group continued on to Sausalito.

Gavin put on a show for all of us.

What a crooner!

Day 2 Continued

More Zoo pictures

Checking out the zebras with Daddy.

An afternoon nap with Mommy.

Day 3:

On the Road--Concord, CA to Eugene, OR

510 Miles

We stopped in Ashland for playtime in the park with cousins.

Noah thought he should have been the center of an attempted cousins picture.

On the road again.

Sleepy little man

We stayed with friends in Eugene and Noah thought the dog stairs up to the bed were the best invention ever!

Day 4: Wine tasting around Eugene

M&M Doughnut face and crazy bed head

The first place with the kids along was just beautiful. The second place was a little more boring, but Noah made the most of it by dancing on the patio.

This is one of his favorite dance moves...he didn't fall.

Gavin was less than impressed so the kids went home and some of the guys continued on.

This is a backyard made for running.

I can't believe we didn't get any pictures of Emily and Nate's dogs except for this one, but Noah sure loved them!

Ok, that's all for tonight, but more will be coming soon!
