Our First Blog

Since mom and dad gave us a hard time on their blog, we decided we had better join the blogging revolution, so here is our first attempt. It was hard to decide where to start, so we are going back to our trip to Oregon this summer and make that our starting point. We had such a great time on that trip. The kids all said it was one of their favorite vacations ever. That's pretty good coming from a bunch of teenagers! We camped in the Shasta National Forest for a couple of nights and then went to a wild animal park in Roseburg, OR. We were up close and personal with lions, giraffes, bears, zebras and a lot more. The kids loved it so much we went through twice! Then we went to Neskowin, OR and stayed in a cottage near the beach for a few days. It was so relaxing and the weather actually cooperated and was fairly warm. Then we went on to Tom and Shauna's for Kelly's birthday celebration and baptism. We were so glad we could be there to share that day with her! I lumped these pictures all together because it was easier this time. I will try to make our blog a little more aesthetic as we figure out what we are doing!
