Wallowa Lake

We got to go to a new place!......Wallowa Lake, in Oregon. We had our annual family reunion there, and it was such a BEAUTIFUL place!! Adam and I had to keep reminding ourselves we were in Oregon and not Alaska--it was that beautiful. Once again I have a picture overload (because I can  :)  ) We just had too many fun memories to not put them in. Thanks for picking such a pretty place mom and dad!


Wallowa Lake, Oregon

We took a tram ride up the mountain. It was worth the ride! (Even though I was a little nervous one of the kids would jump) However- we all made it safely up and down the mountain. hehe

Aaron and Ashton went with my Dad on the tram

Ella and Livia went with my mom on the tram

Preston got to go with us :)

Chris, Marla, Kaden and Wesley

Preston was fascinated by watching the tram

Ella with Grandma ;)

It was such a pretty view! (And a little windy)

me and my hubby

Mom and dad

The next few pics will be of the kids feeding squirrels/chipmunks. Those little critters liked corn nuts!


Kaden showing me a rock. He is so cute!



My handsome Aaron

Lookin' good Ashton!

it is hard to get all 5 to look at the camera! Especially when there are more exciting things, like chipmunks, to look at.




The kids testing the water- it was COLD!

This face was waiting for us when we got back to our cabin!

These chairs were the kids favorite. I think we owe my parents some new ones, because I'm not sure they made it in one piece.

We went for a hike to a waterfall and Adam decided he needed to carry a tree over for us to cross the river safely.haha--I think he actually just wanted to show the boys he was a real, live, super-hero!



Such a beautiful lake!

These 2 deer were waiting for us that night!
Thanks for all your hard work mom and dad. This was a great reunion!
And if you want a good laugh- click on this link---these are my thoughts exactly on camping (and why we stayed in a cabin!!)

Wow beautiful pictures - Oregon is a beautiful state! Thanks for sharing.

Now if we can get these family reunions to stop having such a western bias :) - Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Illinois, or Wisconsin? Anyone?

It was a great month of visiting and the reunion was beautiful. Love Wallowa and glad we got to share it with you all.

Doug- We'll have a family vote on East vs West, ok? :)

That looks amazing! I love the chipmunks coming right up to you, how fun is that! Also, I'd vote for a WI campout. :)

Looks like such a fun trip! Great pictures. I can't believe the deer and chipmunks got so close. And Chris.....your boys are super cute. Congrats!
