Oregon Trip

Last weekend Allyson and I went on a trip to Oregon with my parents.  Steve wasn't able to join us, so we gladly carpooled.  I was a little nervous about how Ally would do for the long car ride.  The last time we did this trip she slept a lot more.  She is a really good traveler, and it doesn't hurt to have an large supply of DVDs, juice, books and snacks.

Thursday Afternoon, just getting started.

She isn't so sure she likes this road trip anymore
 We got a late start (we left after I got off work) but that helped us avoid the crazy snow storm near Mt. Shasta.  We ended up getting a hotel in Roseburg around 11pm, we were too tired to go on (and Allyson thought she only needed to nap in the car).
First night in a Hotel
 My family all met up at my brothers house for a crazy weekend together.

We just had to try out the wagon wheel seat.

Friday night we had dinner at Buster's BBQ (or was it Bubbas?) and it was so good.

Most of us, James is behind the camera.

Reading with Aunt Beth and Tiara
 Allyson had so much fun playing with everyone, especially Tiara and Jimmy.

The reason for the weekend reunion, my brother and his wife were sealed in the Portland Temple.

When we get together frozen yogurt is always a must.

Car Seat Yoga
The ride home didn't get any shorter, but we had fun watching movies (maybe a few too many Baby Einstein Shows), reading books and practicing animal noises. 

Some quality reading time

What a great trip and a nice bunch of people. Next time you see or talk to your parents say 'Hi' for me.
