Road Trip - Portland again, Aunt Deb and Julie

We met up with Paul's Aunt Julie and her husband, her daughter Lauren and her husband, and their kids, back in Portland. We walked around the rose gardens and played at the playground and had a picnic dinner. It was so nice to meet everyone and hang out for the evening. 


Hawken found a bracelet that someone had hidden (like the painted rocks thing), and helped Evie to find it. So fun! She was stoked. 


Group picture! We had so much fun, thanks Julie for the dinner, and everyone for the great company! 

Good bye to these cousins! We had so much fun!


We drove on to visit with Paul's aunt Deb and uncle Rob and stayed there for one night. Paul also got to reconnect with his cousin Jeff and his wife and kids. They came in just to see us, so nice! 

They have this enormous playroom upstairs and the kids loved playing there. In fact, they also cleaned and organized it for Deb and Rob. Ha ha ha. 


The next morning, we were treated to a FEAST from Rob for breakfast. We really loved our time in Oregon. Such happy, fun memories. We left Oregon, and headed for Idaho.


In the middle of nowhere we found this HUGE waterfall in the desert and stopped and explored there.  We hiked down to the bottom, and played for hours. The kids love to be outside, and wild, and free.


After exploring the falls for a while, we headed on and got a hotel.  Because of covid restrictions, we had to "rent" the pool and hot tub for just our family, which was perfect.  The kids loved having the whole place!
