Family Reunion in Oregon

We have just been the traveling family this summer. We went to a family reunion in Oregon with some of my side of the family. This year we went to Oregon. My parents have a beach house on the Oregon coast. We all gathered there along with a neighboring house because there are so many of us. This is the Hotel we stayed at in Bend called the Quality Inn. We had driven for about 11 hours to get here. the kids were great in the car. thank goodness for DVD players and Head phones.Quality Inn-Bend,OR Kids getting ready for bed Once we finally got to the beach house we suited up in our family color coordinated shirts for family pictures

This was a really fun trip. Lot's of things took place including Rebekah and Dustin having there baby boy Lucas. Welcome to the family Luke. Also Jack (cousin)was taken to urgent care for double ear infections and then again to the hospital later that night after cutting his head on a futon. He had two stiches. He is 1 and full of energy. Poor guy. The kids had so much fun seeing cousins. Thank you Nina and Papa for organizing this. I love you all!

It looks like you guys had lots of fun. We rent beach houses sometimes when I visit my parents in Oregon. It is such a fun place to get the whole family together and the kids always have such a great time. I will have to try that resteraunt next time we go.

What a fantastic trip.

I would so rather be in cool,lush Oregon than hot, sticky Missouri.
