big vacation week


***disclaimer!!!  i wrote this post weeks ago but didn't publish as i hadn't added the photos...so the end result is that this post is a couple weeks old!!***

last week we had a multi-adventure vacation week (sorry for the delayed posting).

our week started with a few days up at my dad's lake cabin with some good old fashion lake swimming and dock jumping. the weather was hot and the water so refreshing. 







then we went white-water rafting down the deschutes river....very fun.  the kids had a blast.... and actually i was the only one who fell out of the boat.  my dad bought the photos so i will post when i get copies.


wednesday was the second annual yes day.   the answer is always "yes" on yes day to offset all the other days of the year when we say 'no' to many requests.  it was more or less a repeat of last year (they are not very imaginative truth be told) but it was a super fun day....
can we watch TV?  can we have burritos for breakfast?  can buy some snacks at the store (aka junk food)? can we go to alpine slides again this year, and do the bungee trampoline and putt-putt golf? can we all wear matching tie-dyes?  can we watch a movie, have ice cream sundaes and stay up late?









and for the last half of the week we headed to the coast for a little beach time with my mother and brother (and most importantly their cousins).  it was in the upper 90's at home so the cool 60's at the beach was so lovely!






a very very fun week of adventures!
