Family Reunion in Oregon

This weekend I went to Oregon for a family reunion. To get to Oregon on time, we had to leave home REALLY early in the morning. It was still dark outside when Mommy put me in the car. I told her that it's still night time and that I hardly had any sleep.

We drove for a little while then Daddy decided it was time for breakfast. We found a great restaurant with green fields all around and I got to eat an apple cinnamon DONUT with hot chocolate for breakfast. It was the most delicious breakfast I ever had in my ENTIRE life! Mommy said she hopes it's the only time in HER life that I will get to eat a donut for breakfast.


After lots more driving we finally got to Oregon. I didn't know I was related to so many people. I met a new cousin, Brent, who is bigger than my cousin Jacob but smaller than me. My favourite cousin, Kennedy was there too - she's much older than me. We had lots of fun playing and visiting interesting places. Here are some pictures from my trip.


I love playing in the sand and the beach outside our vacation house was great.


Look at the sand castle Jacob and I are building! Uncle Kelly and Daddy are good helpers.


I had so much fun in the water. Here Mommy helps me jump waves to avoid a bubble attack.


Me flying a kite all by myself. Oregon is perfect for flying kites - it's always windy.


Life is good. Here I am relaxing in the tub with Jacob after a morning of playing at the beach.


This is a photo I took of Kennedy. It's always lot of fun when she's around!


One of my favourite parts of this trip was a visit to the Tillamook Air Museum. I LOVED flying the simulators with Mommy while Daddy looked at all the old planes.


I still like buses but I think I'll become a fighter jet pilot when I grow up instead of a bus driver.


After the Air Museum, we went to the Tillamook cheese factory. Daddy gave me a $5.00 bill to buy ice cream after the cheese tour. No, I don't have an itchy bum, I'm keeping my ice cream money safe.


I kept that ice cream money safe for the entire tour and here I am enjoying my favourite ice cream - mint chocolate chip. It's delicious!


We were in Oregon for only a few days and they were all lots of fun. On the way home, Daddy wanted to stop at the vineyards but we only had time for one. Outside the tasting room I had fun finding tiny grapes on the vines.


It was a really long day of driving to get home. I watched lots of movies on the DVD player. Here I am with Daddy when we stopped for picnic lunch.
