Oregon summer trip

Technically we head to Oregon to get our teeth fixed by Dr. Anderson but really we are there to get some good berries and let the kids go crazy.

 Sweet Avery watching out for Anders.  Plus really good burgers in Beaverton.

Vedder couldn't figure out why Maddy kept putting her arm on him

 Going for walks.  We never made it too far, their driveway is a big hill so when you factor that in to your return trip it makes for short walks.

 But the big driveway was perfect!

 Picking strawberries.  Ved immediately turned it in to a competition between us and Adam.  Who could get the biggest, sweetest berries and fill their bucket the fastest.  Not sure who one.

 We ALL ate a fair share, they were like candy.

 Berries and babies covered in evidence

 Swimming down at the pump house.

On our drive we stopped at a park for lunch instead of driving thru McD's.  When I was the kid traveling and my parents packed lunches and we stopped at rest areas or a park I was always bummed.  What I wouldn't have given for a Wendy's frosty.  But now I get it.  Let the kids get some energy out without the stress of a restaurant.  But man I felt like a 'parent' when we pulled over to that park.
