Back to the 50's Car Parade

     One of the great things about living in Grants Pass is all of the activities that the town plans. We have many parades throughout the year, which are always fun to attend. On July 28th, Grants Pass had its Back to the 50's Car Parade. Brianna and Marion even got to ride in the parade for a little bit, thanks to one of Dad's friends.

Crater Lake National Park

     Next on my to-do list: Visit Crater Lake National Park. Me, Britt, Brianna, and our French exchange student Marion all took a roadtrip on the 26th. The weather was perfect! Years ago when I went to visit Crater Lake, I needed a jacket because it was still chilly...even in the summer! This time, I was completely comfortable and I actually ended up getting a little sun. Oops!

Snow in July!

We started hiking up this trail, but stopped halfway since three of the girls didn't dress for it.

Family Picnic

     When I was younger and we used to come out to Oregon for summer vacation, we always went to Riverside Park. The cousins would all play on the playground and the parents would sit and get to catch up. We went to Riverside Park on the 20th and had a big family picnic. It felt just like old times :)

Gorgeous outside!

And this is why I love Oregon....or at least the West Coast :)
