We rented a great townhouse with our friends, the Breiwicks and the Filions. The weather wasn't quite as warm as we had hoped, but was still MUCH better than the weather at home!! We enjoyed weather in the 70's every day.
Our townhome was a block from the pool & splash park and also a great little pond that the kids had fun playing around.
Here are some pics from our vacation, in no particular order.
Emerson playing with the sage brush in the back yard.
a little photo shoot we did by the pond. just for fun...
I can't think of a park or trip we've been on where I don't have a picture of Hudson climbing something!
Emerson and Ben watching a movie together (or maybe just watching each other)
Emerson and Bergen playing around in the condo.
Family photo on our beautiful hike around Smith Rock. This was taken before a huge rain/hail storm hit!

I just think this area is so beautiful!

our favorite pastime in Bend... innertubing on the Deschutes!! SO much fun!! this trip we didn't get to go as much due to the weather being cooler, but it was just as fun!
Camden innertubing...
Camden freezing his bottom off after innertubing.
We got to meet up with some of our other friends who were vacationing down there at the same time. We had dinner together (all 26 of us) and walked around Bend. Here are the kids in front of the candy store.
Emerson & Ben in the kiddie pool. Emerson loved it and talked about it every morning when she woke up. she even made up her own hand motion to indicate 'swimming'.
Matt & Kevin took a night to go down to the Crooked River for an evening fishing trip and Camden decided to join him. He had a lot of fun and even caught a fish!!
Playing in the splash park...brrrrr!
pool time
the boys being thrown towards each other so they can 'high five' in the air!
Wow! that was a lot of pictures!! there's our trip in a nutshell...
