{pic by me in gramma ilene's backyard. damascus, oregon}.
it seems like i've been traveling somewhere every weekend since july! this is the first quiet saturday morning at home that i've spent in a long time. ahhhh.
in july, i traveled solo to our family reunion barbeque in mollala, oregon! jack stayed behind while he was studying during the
poor thing. but...
i was sooo excited to see my family, so i couldn't resist escaping the torture for a few days!
i flew into portland and stayed the weekend with gramma ilene & grampa roy (my dad's parents).
the first day, we played in gramma's yard, cooked, talked, ate a ton of food, and there may or may not have been a little vino drinking. heh heh.
these two have the greenest thumbs in all the land. almost every meal we had came mostly from their garden!
gramma drying her basil.
garden starts.
hummingbird house & hydrangeas.
are these even real?
my heart will always be in the pacific northwest.
i mean, i sort of want to eat these.
...and this.
hehehe i painted this for gramma! makes a cute outdoor flower vase.
ok, so the official festivities began the next day...dad & di drove down from washington and we all headed over to renee & bryan's farm in molalla, oregon. renee is my dad's beautiful cousin!
here is a fantastic photo dump of our fun visit to the farm:
happiest sunflower ever.
men in the barn. 'merica.
beans!
chickens. the mama hatched a few eggs that morning!
i looove this wheel.
am i dead? is this heaven? do i have to ever leave?
ok. cutest dad ever.
renee leading us on our hike!
my twin cousins, jenna & lexi.
i looooved these cows!
renee took us to her neighbor's house to check out her alpacas!
every alpaca has a name and they are her babies.
newborn.
they are very cagey towards humans, but very close to each other.
big poppa.
this one turned out to be one of my favorites.
renee got the kids a pinata! my cousin britton is trying to crack it open.
bryan working his pinata skills behind the tree!
finally!
my daddy & grampa roy. heart.
