4th of July

We had an awesome holiday weekend!!!

It started with a trip to Mt Hood where we stayed at a great resort and had such a fun time. The weather was perfect! 80 degrees!

We found a little playground the kids loved. Such a pretty place for a playground!


And the view from the pool was great too! We spent lots of time in the big pool with Avery and Collin both doing big jumps into the pool. And we also loved the "hot pool" as Avery calls the hot tub. That's Jon with the kids in the hot tub in the picture...

We had dinner on a patio overlooking the golf course with amazing views...

And on the way back to our room we spotted some Fourth of July flowers...

The next morning we went on a hike nearby. Avery was so excited about this bridge...

Trot had a blast running around off leash. Up until we lost him for a few minutes, which really freaked Avery out....

Collin does great in this backpack, but Jon said it's basically like carrying me around in that thing! Apparently he thinks I weigh 34 lbs - fine with me :)

This tree was amazing. As was the little tree hugger who hiked the whole trail...
Collin was not such a big fan of the hiking part...

The next day we got to watch the 4th of July parade at the end of our street. Technically, the end of the street that we are renting a house on (since our house is sold now). We had some good friends to watch with, and the kids were in heaven with all the candy thrown their way!!

After a fun day bbq-ing with friends, the 4 of us had dinner in the yard and played around on the swing set. It was such a nice weekend!
