Sunriver 2011-More FUN!

I took a lot of photos while at Sunriver.  However, a few days into the trip my battery finally died and I went looking for my charger and I couldn’t find it.  I was so disappointed because I carefully pack EVERYTHING before I go on a trip.  I bring extra cables, wires, etc. just in case.  I can’t believe I forgot my camera charger!  Well, luckily Steph takes lot’s of great photos.  Add to my list of things not to forget: camera charger.

Another thing that I pack is baking supplies.  I bring everything I would need to bake all sorts of goodies.  My goal is to help everyone put on a few pounds by the end of the trip.  Goodies include cookies, brownies, cup cakes, bread, and cinnamon rolls.  I bake because it’s fun and it keeps me busy.  Another reason is our favorite Sunriver bakery is no longer making good donuts.  Now we have to make our own unhealthy goodies.

We did a little bit of geocaching.  Not as much as last year.

The grand kids attacked Papa with silly string.

The kids had a great time rock climbing at Mavericks.

Lauren can do the splits easily.  Not sure why.  Just one day she showed us that she could do it.

We had plenty of lounge time.  Here Steph is enjoying the iPad while Kira does her hair.

Sunriver 2011–Lots of FUN!

A lot of people will ask us what we do at Sunriver.  Well, there are lot’s of things that we do, but the best part is spending time with family.

Meredith and Lauren chillin on the couch.

Ziza is ready for the pool.

Ava loved playing in the pool.  She learned how to climb up and down steps as she was constantly in and out of the kid pool.

Spencer turned 8 years old.  He had a great day which ended in a family party filled with lots of games.

Steph and Wes hanging out.

Time to go to the park.  Let’s just say we had a full car.

Ava loved the swing.  It was hard to get her to leave the park.

The old tire swing….bound to make anyone dizzy or sick.

Uncle Greg playing on the not so large toys.  Someone needs to let him know that he might have outgrown this one.

Sunriver here we come!

Each summer we head off to Sunriver, Oregon for a family vacation.  We left the same say school was out.  We packed the van and headed for our favorite place.

This year we have a new bike rack that holds the bikes on top.  It worked so well, I highly recommend it.

We packed everything including Lauren.  Now we can hit the road.

Are we there yet?

Of course we have to stop by Costco in Bend on the way to Sunriver.  There we load up on food to last us the week.  Let’s just say that we eat like kings in Sunriver.

School is Out!

School is out and the kids are excited for summer.  How thankful we are as parents for great teachers.  Mrs. Evonuk and Mrs. DeGregorio have a passion for teaching.  They made a difference in our kids lives.  We are very lucky to have such great and caring teachers.

Cruisin’ Sherwood Car Show

Every year Sherwood holds a classic and custom car show.  It is a big deal for Sherwood.  This was our first year attending the car show and we had a great time.  There were a ton of cars to look at. It is amazing how much time, effort and $$$ people put into their cars.

Lauren had a great time.

This van had a mini version of it self and the owner seemed to be the perfect match for the car.
