Zoo Trip summer 2011

Today was the day we went to the zoo. KaeLynn was waiting for days to go! She kept saying she was going to see the whales and kangaroos! She did an amazing job for not having a nap. We were so lucky to have daddy meet us at the zoo. He was able to get off early which was a huge help for me because I was having a hard time walking around so much and lifting her up to see animals. My back and legs were killing me. That is just the joy of being pregnant! We went to see the birds and you can buy a cup of nectar and feed them. Right when I walked in, this bird immediately look me in the eye, made a sqwaking noise and flew to my hand. Then he just started drinking away. It was so fun. KaeLynn was okay with the bird as long as I didn't bring it to close. By the end of the trip I was so exhausted. We went home and had a short nap before we went back to the Dovers for dinner.

Beach Trip

Cavan's brother Mike and his family are in town for a week. Our week has been so busy and so crazy. One of the things we did was on Monday was a day trip to the coast. We started our day in Tillamook and had ice cream for "brunch". KaeLynn really enjoyed seeing the factory and of course the ice cream! Then we went to Cannon Beach and played in the water. The day really turned out to be beautiful. The kids had so much fun in the water. They went at it full force! Cavan was very happy to be able to fly his kite. He bought it last year, but it was too windy to fly it. So this was his first time to actually fly it until it broke. We ended the day in Astoria. We ate at the Wet Dog and had my dad and grandparents meet us. We had a HUGE group! Then to work off our dinner we went to the Astor Column. KaeLynn had no problem climbing all the way to the top and she loved being up there! The view was so beautiful especially with the sun setting. The day went so well and I really look forward to do it again!

4th of July 2011

We went to Corbett again this year. We had everyone there and the kids had a blast! The weather was nice this year! The fireworks were amazing and we had a great time.

Sunset Falls

Last weekend My sister Kea, and Ro'l and I went to Sunset Falls. It was such a beautigul day and the kids (KaeLynn, Javen, and Leanna) had such a blast and were so good. Cavan and the guys went to the Lake to help his parents redo the roof on the lake house, so I had to do something to entain KaeLynn. Summer feels like it has finally begun!
