Yes we are off to First Grade today. Makayla was very excited, she was ready to go 45 minutes before the bus showed up.

Sleep

When I go down to check on the kids after they have fallen asleep I usually find some interesting sleeping arrangements. Tonight Aleah decided to sleep with her Hula Hoop- yes it is under her.

Makayla decided her king size bed wasn't going to work, the baby cradle
was a much better option- nutty kid.
Miles found his truck book, baby bean, wormy, and his bear- no one can touch them.

GG House

Miles loves to fill up GG's rain gauge with rocks

Beach

We ended up in Pacific City for the weekend at our friends house, they have a little boy Miles age

Miles hadn't ever been to the beach before, as you can see he enjoyed it.

The girls climbed the big sand dune to the top at least 4 times!

The tide was way out so everyone has fun checking out all the sea animals

Aleah and Kia heading back to the car

Detroit Lake

We finished up business in Bend and headed toward Salem. We stopped to camp at Detroit Lake. The girls found two logs and made boats out of them.
Miles was happy to be out of the car, he pushed his John Deer around the campground while the girls road bikes. He rode and rode.......

Then he ran and ran........

Everyone happy with a Popsicle
