Day 1 (Oregon, Washington, Vancouver Island Trip)

Crater Lake National Park (Oregon)

The first stop on our trip was to Crater Lake. We loved learning the history of it.  The kids thought it was especially cool that it was a volcano. 

Vidae Falls.

Phantom Ship.

The water was so blue.

Plaikni Falls.

Wizard Island.

Heceta Head Beach (Oregon)

After Crater Lake we drove to Florence to meet Grammy and Poppy ant Heceta Beach.

Runner Cross Mud Run 5K

My friend Kelly tricked me into doing a mud run 5K with her.  We ended up having so much fun.

4th of July

This year for the 4th of July Brooklyn really wanted to go to the balloon festival.  I didn't want to wake all the kids up at 5:30 to go so just Steven and Brooklyn went. 

The rest of us met them at the parade.

We ended the day watching fireworks as well as the mountainside on fire.
