Oregon Day 3 & 4

I wasn't able to keep up my posting like I had hoped on vacation due to the poor internet connection and the several days without internet:(

8.15 & 8.16

On Day 3 Ryan, Uncle Tom, Caulder and I left the house at 4:00 a.m. and headed to the coast to go fishing.  We ended up catching plenty of fish for dinner, but it took us a while.  I wasn't much help only catching 2.  I think this was the first time I have been out fished by my brother:(

Ryan's bucket with my 2 fish thrown in. (The pretty orange one was Ryan's)

Day 4 - Ryan left for the Airport early, so the girls packed a picnic lunch and headed to the park to play.

I didn't know there was sprinklers at the park, so I never thought to pack Addie's swim suit.  She was fine playing in her clothes until a couple of girls came and stripped down to their swim suit.  She wanted to do the same and started taking her clothes off.  I fought it for a few minutes, but then I gave in.  She ended up playing in her underwear. 

Oregon - Day 2

Addie gets to feed the fish in the Koi pond twice a day.   I had to limit her or she would be out there every five minutes giving them food.

Since I have multiple cameras with me I missed some of our traveling pictures and pictures from our first morning at the fish ladder.

Oregon Vacation - Day 1

My mom, Ryan, Addie and I arrived in beautiful Oregon last Friday.  Poor Barry had to stay home so he could work on completing his clinical time required to take his paramedic exam:(  It was a long day of traveling, but Addie was excellent! We are visiting and staying my Aunt and Uncle who live in Roseburg.  This is the 3rd time I have been here in the last 7 years and the older I get the more I enjoy it.  The weather is perfect and the views are amazing.

The first day of our trip we decided to go the Wildlife Safari, which was only about 15-20 minutes from my Aunt and Uncle's.  It was AWESOME!  The animals were right up close and we saw tons of animals roaming about.  We first visited the walk through part of the safari called Safari Village and then we headed to the car for the drive through portion, which took us about an hour and a half to drive through.

Addie had a lot of fun hanging out with Uncle Ryan.  One night him and my Uncle went to my cousins bar for a little bit and when Addie found out he left she had a break down.

We spent a lot of time playing in the bubbles

I am not sure if Addie had more fun playing in the bubbles or washing off the bubbles.
