Take a Little Trip... (Oregon, Part 2)

While we were home we found a fabulous Children's Museum and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves for hours and hours!

Wild Indians behind the wheel of an ambulance.

Making music after yoga with Bendy Wendy.

Sweet cheeks!

Now that's a mouthful! This was at the entrance and Kaleb was enthralled!

Can you dig it?!?

Yes, we can!

Even the babes had fun! I wish I could find these blocks... they look like wood, but are really spongy. The baby boys loved them!

The museum was so great, I did a little research to see if there was one in Phoenix. Sure enough, one just opened. Too bad we can't afford to drive to Phoenix each week to play...these rising gas prices have really cramped our style!

We spent some time at "Mom & Dad's temple" as Kaleb would say. It was lovely and so sweet to be walking these sacred grounds where we started our forever family.

Kaleb had a family party...the best party I never threw! Thanks to Grandma, Grandpa & Aunt Val for doing all the work!

I love my grandma's face in this shot! Nothin' like a backyard BBQ...yummy!
Aunt Val & Haylee made this AWESOME racetrack cake for Kaleb! Grandma was happy to see Kaleb unwrap his presents and enjoy his birthday...something we've never been able to share with my side of the fam.

We went to the beach... one of our favorite things to do! Seaside, Oregon will always hold so many memories for me... a few hilarious ones this trip for sure!

My bro & dad's own candy shop...Tommy always did have a sweet tooth!
A few of my favorite things... Dylan & the beach!

Uncle Jo & Dylan...all smiles!Beach bums!
K's fav. thing to do at the beach...besides chase waves & seagulls. Ben looks less than thrilled.Not my best side, but we seriously have NO pics of the 2 of us together since our munchkins came along.
Don't ask...okay maybe you should. A hysterical story involving my parents' anniversary dinner, the worst dive in Seaside, George Forman grilled steaks, a pirate-chef who looked like he belonged on the open sea, and food that was barely edible. A choice decision I will never live down with a Tshirt commemorating this nice slice of family history...thanks, Ben! On the bright side, an out for having to make another dining decision again... EVER! Totally worth it. Wish you were there, Jonny!
