Oregon Trip

After California we came back to Utah for a few days to help my parents my into their new house and then it was off to Oregon to hang out with the Donkins. We got there in time for Family Home Evening. We got to pick the dinner, the dessert and the activity. We went with taco salad with Nacho Cheese Doritos (Jackie's favorite) and then my favorite, strawberry shortcake and backyard wiffleball (reminds me of my birthday party last year).

The Northwest was having a heat wave at the time so our first day there we cooled off at Moulton Falls in Washington. The regulars said it was the most crowded they had ever seen it. It was fun for everyone jumping off of the rocks and for a few of us, the bridge. Everyone there said it was 75 feet but when I looked online it came up as 56 feet high. Either way you look at it, it's high up there.

Thomas caught a little tad pole or fish and wanted to take it home


Jimmy making it look it easy

Thomas did alright getting in, it was getting out that he had trouble. He hit his head on a rock and that's when we called it a day.


We spent a couple of days at the beach house in Rockaway, Oregon. It's always a blast. Everyone was still excited after Monday night's wiffleball game so we brought it to the beach. We worked up a sweat but not enough to get us to want to get in that cold Oregon water.
Davey didn't want to get up early for breakfast to see us off but he eventually did. We think this picture above might have had something to do with it.



Jeri never likes to see us go
