Oregon trip (the drive home)...

On our way home, we stopped in Grants Pass, where my sister Christine and her family live. We had a nice lunch, then went to the park that sits right on the Rogue River.


I love my sister :)



The second time he tried to climb it, he was able to do it all by himself...all in the time it took me to run to the bathroom!

My beautiful niece Aria.

WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA!!!
We stopped at the California Welcome Center in Anderson, CA to let Zack run around. Zack kept trying to kiss the California Grizzly :)


Oregon trip (South Silver Falls)...


We went to South Silver Falls (the easier waterfall to hike) and hiked with Zack to show him his very first waterfall. It was tiring, but the fresh air was great! We were even able to hike behind the waterfall.


"I see you, Daddy!"




He fell asleep on our drive to see North Silver Falls. I've hiked that one before and knew it wasn't something we should take Zack to...it's about a 10 mile hike with very steep and narrow trails, so we just drove to it and looked at it from the road.












Oregon trip (Oregon Garden)...

We were able to stop by the Oregon Garden, but only for about 15 minutes because they were closing. I was in LOVE with the vibrant colors!













I almost got stung by a yellow jacket when taking this one :(




Oregon trip (pumpkin farm)...

Monday, we met up with my family at the pumpkin farm...somewhere in Oregon in the middle of nowhere.
