Road Trip

One of the greatest things about Living in Oregon is the Diversity of Beauty! Here is an example from our summer trip with the cousins. We started at Wheeler Oregon where we got to crab and play on the beach. Then one day we went exploring one of the coasts rivers where the boys had a blast hunting for Salamanders(pictures to come). Then we loaded up and headed off to Central Oregon where My Brother and Sister in law own 300 something acres(Amazing).

On our way to Central Oregon we passed Mt. Hood!We stop at White River Falls State Park for a picnic! It was just beautiful and the scenery started to change from Big huge green trees to a dryer more desert like climate! (I entered this photo in a contest.. wish me luck:) )A rest stop somewhere along the way- pretty huh?
We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast on the John Day River! It was really Fun -Mollie and Meghan kept asking when they were gonna get Breakfast IN bed!:) Funny!
Boys playing Fuse(fooz)? Ball- Good thing for this Table otherwise I think we might have had some issues keeping them entertained for two nights without bothering the other guests! They LOVED this game!
Well we did have to take two cars we can no longer fit into a normal vehicle-:) So my brother drove the boys-they felt very special!Us on the John Day river! Just Awesome and so pretty- we were the only ones there too. We stayed ALL day!! Feeding Wild Sage (horse) on my Brothers land- they have five wild Horses! So you can see pretty cool how in 4-5 hours you can go from Coast to Mountains to Desert!
I just love that!
Thanks for looking
