4th of July Fun

Alright, so I know I am slacking on this blogging thing. So better late than never right? Last week, over the fourth of July weekend we went camping. We had so much fun. My kids had been looking forward to this for weeks and it lived up to all we had expected. I love getting away and spending time with family. Here are some of the pictures from our adventure.

We got home on Saturday night and I had a day to get the laundry, house and food in order so Shon and I could leave on Monday morning. He taught EFY in Oregon so I accompanied him and we left the kids in the very capable hand of my sister (thanks Jen). We had a great time, Once I got away. Leaving the kids is so hard for me. I have never left Evan and he is 21 months old. But it was worth it. Its always good to get away with just you husband. Although we did have another teacher traveling companion that was with us most of the time, but that's another story! It was great hearing Shon teach and driving to the coast. Oregon in beautiful! Shon even found a Tillamook cheese factory that turned out to be pretty interesting! (He loves cheese). Unfortunately we didn't bring the camera (too big) so we don't have pictures for now, but they will be emailed to us later, so if I remember I will post them.
