Sunriver

We went on our annual Sunriver trip in August. We have been going with my mom since Ellie was a baby. The kids love this vacation. I really think it is kid paradise. I love watching them have so much fun. Jack even said, "I think this should be our last vacation every summer because it is so much fun." I don't even have pictures for every fun event but some of our highlights were: horse back riding, canoeing, swimming, biking, going to the lake, miniature golfing and so much more. I realize how quickly my kids are growing up and really try to cherish all of these great family memories!

Old enough to flip the chicken on the BBQ.

This was Jack's first time on a big horse. We went for an hour trail ride. He liked it despite sore legs. We saw tons of deer and even some fawns so that was quite a treat.

We also love to ride down to the stables to feed the horses.

Central Oregon is so beautiful.

Wow, a picture like this makes you realize how fast this girl is growing up.

We went to the South Twin Lake and rented a row boat for some fishing and swimming. It's about a half hour drive from Sunriver. There is so much to do in Central Oregon. Every trip we try to switch up our activities to fit as much in as possible.

They even got a little ride. Luckily Doug really good at rowing.

We also took a canoe ride down the Deschutes. You start on the little river that is shallow, but you meet up with the big Deschutes for about 15 minutes. I have to say that freaked me out a little. I also have to say that rowing a canoe is alot harder than it looks. But we had fun, had great scenery, rescued some golf balls, and definitely made a memory.

Doug and the kids took one canoe and my mom and I took the other.

We stopped at a little patch of rocks to go to the bathroom! So we were able to get some pictures. Otherwise it is tricky to steer a canoe down a river and take a picture.

Then on to rock wall climbing. Last year I climbed with Ellie and this year my mom tried it out. Way to go Grammy!

Ellie is the adventurous one. This is her third year riding the flowrider at Mavericks and as you can see on her face she loves it.

The kids spend a lot of time swimming at Sunriver

The bouncy house in the mall

Ellie loves to ride bikes. Despite a couple of falls she still spent a lot of time on the trails.

Doug and I even got a night away, thanks grammy!

Bumper cars, what more could a kid want.

Of course we made several trips to Goody's for ice cream and a stuffed animal to commemorate the trip.

They look so cute and peaceful sleeping together.
