Happy Birthday Jack!

We celebrated Jack's 2nd birthday at the Oregon zoo today. Our good friends Tim, Anja, Chase and Kardyn drove up from Medford to spend the day with us.

The people who serve the breakfast buffet at our hotel gave Jackson this balloon and a piece of cake this morning when we went down for breakfast.

We rode the train at the zoo which is all Jackson really cared about

We also went to the Rose garden at Washington Park

Cannon Beach

We're in Oregon this weekend for a wedding. Yesterday we went to Cannon beach and saw haystack rock.

Jackson's first time at the ocean

Today we took a tram ride to an overlook above the city.

Pineview

We went to Pineview reservoir Sunday for Tim's birthday. Can't say it was the friendliest spot for windsurfers. They weren't going to let us park our trailers because they weren't "boat" trailers. Then they eventually decided we could park them after we said we wanted our money back. It was quite confusing but eventually we made it to the beach. That's all the kids cared about. It was a nice sandy beach and the reservoir was pretty but way too many motor boats and jet skis for such a small reservoir.

Okay, I know it looks like an empty lake but there really were a lot of boats!

Finally got him to wear the life vest

Bear Lake

We went camping at Bear Lake with our friends Andy, Michelle and Sophia this week. Jackson loved the beach.

What's better than playing on the beach in your PJ's

We stopped to get raspberry shakes

The KOA campground where we rented the bikes had a bouncy thing for the kids. Jackson and Sophia LOVED it

Jackson, do you like camping?

Me windsurfing

Windsurfing

We finally got a chance to go up to Deer Creek and windsurf this weekend.

A firefighting helicopter picked up a load of water while we were there. They were fighting the bridal veil falls fire.

Tim going out.

Tim coming in. He's on a small plane (fast enough for the board to skim the water and the nose to come up).

Heavy Lifting

We've started the bathroom re-model and the other day my husband decided to remove the 300+ pound cast iron tub by himself! Despite my protests he got it out. Any volunteers to help him put in the new tub?

Memory Tag

Here are the rules:
1. Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments. I can't wait to see what people remember.
