Boy's Day


She was so excited after squeezing the trigger.


On Saturday, Keith took us for a Jeep ride and shooting up at Lost Mountain. He helped the kids shoot Mason's air soft gun, and I even took a turn shooting The Judge.

The Big Day

After a week of prep and festivities, Cris and Amy tied the knot on the 14th. The ceremony was beautiful- as were the bride and groom! We had such a blast celebrating with you guys! We wish you many years of happiness.


After a full day of playing and dancing Mason was finally folded into the car for the trip back to the campsite.


Brenna loved the cupcakes- she wouldn't even share with Mommy.

The Newlyweds

There was a photo stand with costumes and Mason loved changing his outfit.

"So what if I'm wearing a dress? I can still race cars with the best of them!"

Wilamette Queen

The rehersal dinner was on an old fashioned paddle boat. Mason was totally excited to take a turn driving the boat (both Brenna and Mason have certificates showing they're honorary captains) and was thrilled to see the paddles turn. There was a lovely dinner and a great slideshow of Cris and Amy. We love you guys!

The Swimming Hole



As the temperatures climbed the cool water of the swimming hole beckoned.

Falls Hike

We only got to see two of the 10 falls at Silver Falls State park- the upper and lower South Falls. It was a nice little hike to see both of them and we even got to walk behind them. Mason loved all the places to climb, peek through, the make-shift hiking sticks, and all the goodies Grannie brought. Brenna loved the ride and took a nice long nap.

Lower South Falls

It's big enough to be a playhouse!

Peek!

The kids loved going up to the loft area in the Ranch.

On a Hike- Old Ranch, Silver Falls State Park

We showed up early for dinner one night and decided to take a trek into the woods.

Mason had a rough day! So much to see and play with.

Gas Works Park

While we were waiting to pick up the Jeep we visited Gas Works Park in Seattle. The kids loved all the places to explore and run about.

Watching the water and passing boats.



"Daddy come down!" Brenna did not like Daddy being so far up.
