A get away plus family

We went back to Oregon last week.  Nathan and I were able to escape for a couple of days without kids and we really enjoyed our time together.  The thought of traveling wasn't appealing so we just stayed in my hometown.  It was perfect.  We roamed around town looking through Antique stores and a couple of museums.  It seems like life gets so busy it was just nice to be able to visit without any interruptions.  
This is a picture of Nathan's old stomping grounds we found in a museum.  

This must have been an olden day dollar store advertisement.

We stopped by the cemetery.  It isn't even near the same as visiting with my mom in person but there is a neat spirit there near those graves.  I enjoyed the few minutes we took to be here.  There isn't a day that goes by I don't think of my mom.  

We drove on the old highway up the cabbage hill and actually stopped at the view point that we never see because once we are on the road we don't stop (or try not to).   I love those fields out there.  

The kids had a great time with their cousins.  Chris had them try this cool experiment with skittles.  


Then they had to suck up as many skittles as possible.  Nysa won.


These two decided to have their hair braided together.  It didn't stay together for very long since Sadie is taller than Taegan.


Then these three thought they would try it.  They stayed together for a long time.  



Picking up a skittle together. 



Jumping on the trampoline together



Bouncing on the horse together. 


I think we can fit a few more kids in this bathroom to brush teeth. 

These two were like the energizer bunny and kept going and going and going.  They would crash hard at night though.  

Josiah's fancy spider made out of magnet pieces.  The funny part of this is that he is terrified of spiders.  

It was a very fun weekend.

The Betta and The fish tank

We have had these big jars like forever and really haven't done anything with them except put change in one.  Well while Josiah was here...
