When I first started blogging I was very consistent and then I seem to have slowly died off over the summer. I think I am back and ready to start posting again (no promises)! Our family has had a crazy summer! I thought I would post a few shots from some of our favorite events over the last few months.
Oregon Coast at its finest!

Max got stung by a bee when we were up in the canyon. He was pretty brave and barely cried. I however, got stung a few days ago on the lip and felt like bawling ;)

Our next trip was Max's favorite trip of the summer (maybe even favorite of his life at this point)
Honeyman Campground - annual Thelin get together
We made a 35 foot zipline at the sand dunes for the kids

Hillsboro Airshow - August 29th
Max and Ike thought this was a pretty cool show. Ike was hilarious, he kept yelling "wook airpane mama, wook"
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_L2g2iSl2uP1sVh4NrQbNWqlpLCVWAzPctzV-pqG5Ek42MScnn01oGqVEcY9AOz0lKj4y7x7vHXj5XZrYbB-4jp4gigKBB_x8F2dCwRw1ZmnrHEIWu0jSRjVgX81dGNx6QsWqt1iG9QFg/s400/IMG_4207.JPG)
This is the truck that Max is saving his money for. He wants to have a bigger truck than his Uncle Jade and this is the only candidate we have found!
