At first, I thought it sounded crazy taking this little girl on a road trip that consisted of long driving hours 4 out of 5 days. But she did AWESOME! She fed really well, slept in the car the whole time, and was generally her sweet happy self. She loved getting to meet some of the family for the first time! We drove to Fruitland, Idaho Friday afternoon. Slept there, then made the trek to Troutdale, Oregon Saturday morning. Right in the knick of time (no kidding) for Ty's baptism. Then we enjoyed dinner, games, and church the next day with the Knight family. Then back to Fruitland Sunday afternoon, where we picked up our car and headed over to our great friends, Zan and Craig's, home in Nampa, ID. We spent a lovely evening, and the entire day Monday with them. Oh how we miss them!! Late nights of games and yummy treats, and Zan's awesome cooking, were greatly enjoyed. Then we headed back Tuesday morning, and got home in time for a good nap and the first game of the NBA finals. :)

| Rob and Reagan with Ty right after the ordinance. |
 |
| Close-up of Reagan just cause she's too cute. |
 |
| This is me wishing I had remembered to take fun pictures in the hotel to memorialize Reagan's first trip. Instead this is on our way out the door, all ready to go in her car seat. |
 |
| How cute are these kids?!?! Ty (8), Charlie (5), and Emma (7mos). |
 |
| Ashley and Jeff spending time with their new niece. |
 |
| Reagan already loves her Aunt Ashley! |
 |
| Another example of me forgetting to take pictures until our way out the door. At least we got ONE of us with Ashley! |
 |
| The absolutely STUNNING Bridal Veil Falls on our way out of Troutdale, Oregon. I want to move to Oregon so bad, it is so green and lush! I couldn't get enough. Look at that beautiful bridge between the falls! |
 |
| Looking down from the bridge over the lower falls. |
 |
| Rob, myself, Richard and Matt, who teased us all about wanting jackets until we actually got up there and he was freezing his butt off! |
 |
| Gorgeousness. |
 |
| Lovely picture of the in-laws |
 |
| Zan and Craig, in front of Zan's favorite made-at-the-table guacamole. |
 |
| Not sure why Robin thought we needed a picture with his eyes closed. But he's still cute. |
 |
| Final example of me forgetting to get pictures WITH our besties before we hopped in the car. Zan and I in all our morning glory. Gotta love the bathrobe. Sure miss this lovely lady!! |
What a fun vacation!! I am so impressed with this blog post Sarah! So many wonderful pictures!!! And um, k, Reagan is the cutest little thing ever! You need to put more pics up of her on here because honestly I did not recognize her... I seriously thought to myself when I looked at that first picture of Rob holding her... "Huh, I wonder why Rob's holding his niece and not Reagan" :) She's so fair and gorgeous!! I love her beautiful blue eyes. I can't wait to meet her!
ReplyDeleteHOLY MOLEY! I look like a bag of rotten potatoes next to your gorgeousness. Oh well. We LOVE and M.I.S.S. yer butts sooo darn much. Let's just buy a summer home in Oregon and live there together, eh?! YES!
ReplyDeleteWasn't that an amazing road trip! I seriously loved being together with everyone every single minute of that time and couldn't believe how well Reagan did. I was also proud of Dad. With the help of his medicinal Diet Coke, he did a great job staying awake and driving 4 out of the 5 days!!! WOW!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures! You got some really good scenic ones of the waterfall and the one of Richard and Marianne is really nice. Why don't you post them on FB so I can *like* them? :)
