Vacation to the Redwoods!

After getting back from California I had a 2 weeks to get ready to leave again for a week long camping trip. We went to the "Redwoods" (in betwwen Brookings and Cresent City) We spent a couple days at the beach, went to the Kite Festival in Brookings, went to the Trees of Mystery, and did a lot of fun stuff around camp. We went with some of our family...there were 16 adults and 20 kids, we were definately out numbered. We had a good time...although it was a little too cold for my likings!

We left Disneyland on the 4th of July and went back to "Banryland" to celebrate the fourth.

California Adventures...

Everyone was so happy with me when I told them I needed a picture of each person in one of the letters of "CALIFORNIA" for a scrapbook page. Here's the fam. in the "C"...I won't post them all!

Hangin at Disneyland!

We did a character dinner at "Goofy's Kitchen", where we got to see and get lots of character autographs. Although Kelden refused to get his picture taken with any. He stayed behind Grandma and Grandpa and cracked jokes the whole time. They thought he was funny!

On Our Way!

Peanut, Garrett, and Kelden are in the van and ready to go to Disneyland! We drove down to California and stayed a few days at my step-brother's house and then went to Disneyland for 3 days. The kids were so excited to go. This was Kelden and Ayla's first time there.



Cousins

We love our cousins and wish we could see them more often! Mckenzie and Taryn and Caitlyn and Ayla. Kenzie and Caitlyn are my brother Jake's kids and they live in Portland.
