Lucky Blind Tiger: We heart Oregon!

Family really is everything.

So when you have to be away from wonderful family it is hard, very very very hard.

We needed a vacation to Oregon!

And what an amazing vacation it was!!

Our kids loved having so many people who would adore them and play with them.

Like most vacations it was just not enough time...

But now we have many memories that will be cherished for the years to come.

A few of the memories are:

A Bubbles and Fun Party where all the cousins could play, play, and play all night while the parents went bowling.We were bad and didn't get any pictures that night. But her is a cute one of Lady Bug and cousin.

I got to take a day off from motherhood to have a road trip with my amazing mom to see my amazing grandmother. I am so blessed with such remarkable women in my life.

This is from a previous visit to see my grandma... but I just adore how much fun we were all having.

During my day off the rest of the family got to head to the beautiful Silver Creek Falls.

We got to go to the Canby Fair where we were able to

hold an exact replica of Harry Potter's Nibus 2000 from the movie

have a butterfly adventure.

Then we got lost in a lego lovers dream

all while getting family photos.

We then were able to spend some amazing day at the beautiful Oregon Coast.

Playing on the beach in Lincoln City.

We got to go to the marina and see lots of animals, which Lady Bug loved!

We even managed to hit Depoy Bay on Pirate Day. Which Red Panda LOVED!!! And the pirates Loved Red Panda.

A huge family project to reroute the little river leading to the ocean by building numerous dams. I think the adults had more fun then the kids on this one.
