Family Summer Update

We have had the busiest summer- EVER!  So many parks!  So many hikes!  So many birthdays!  So hot!  Just to name a few places we have been Champoeg State Park, Silver Falls State Park, Willamette Mission State Park, Independence, Pioneer Park, Porter-Boone Park, Triangle Lake, and a place tucked in a random place I forgot its name. 

If you have read this blog at all you know my husband is just a pick up and go kinda guy so I haven't prepared anything much to share about all these places other than we had family fun and drank a lot of water and Lucy always gets cranky at the half mile marker.

Lost First Tooth

Ariana also had a birthday!  She turned 6 and lost her first tooth!  She wanted to go to Silver Falls State Park with a few friends for her birthday.  It was incredibly hot, which was reminiscent of the day she was born- 103 degrees!  We had lots of fun swimming and hiking.  I love this kid.  She is smart, fun, dramatic, and loves to dance, color, draw, and hike.  It is time to get to know her even better so lets ask her some questions.
