Oregon Trip With Mom

 Thursday August 16th my Mom and I flew to Oregon to visit my Grandma Guptill. First I have to say that I am grateful for Brinton, his Family and His Girlfriend for helping with the kids while I was gone for a week. We have busy kids so it was no easy task! This was the longest Chris and I have been away from each other while we have been dating but we made it ha! He held down the fort and did some repairs around the house while I was gone because he is the best!
 this is Roakes a small infamous hot dog stand that my family and I always visit when we go to Oregon. It has coney island hot dogs, burgers and fries. It was yummy!

 My cousin Serena Funk came over to hike with me!! This was Multnomah Falls and was beautiful!. The hike up to the top of the falls over looked the Columbia River Gorge.



 This was a small pool at the top of the falls
 Ecka Pada kundiasana 1. Because its my fave!

 My Aunt Paula came up from Washington on Monday night to say hello. We had fun chatting and catching up. We went and saw the new Borne Movie (which was super intense and great) and then we went and hiked Cascade Crater the next day. The hike was suppose to be 1.8miles long but some how we got off the trail and hiked over 5! hahaha it was good company so I didn't mind at all.
 A slug!!

 Snake!
 My Aunt Paula, Grandma Valdine, and Momma

 This picture is hilarious and I made them take it!!! Darlene always goofin around and being the life of the party!
 I had a great time! I read three books: Reviving Ophelia (thanks Max), Opening Chakras (thanks Jennifer) and Hunger Games book 2 (thanks kids). I also went running on hilly roads and found a gym to do some work outs that where out of my norm to switch things up. Oh what's that, yes I found a lululemon of course! I love that place it is ridiculous and sooo cute!!! It was a great week, I missed my kids and my love sooo bad by the end but it was nice to have some time to myself! My Grandma was an amazing host as well!!!
