Memorial Day Weekend

So this year for Memorial Day our family went to Joseph, Oregon and stayed at Wallowa Lake. Big surprise! We do that just about every year, but it is so gorgous how could you not love it! Our party this year consisted of Mom, Dad, Doug, Angie, Madi, Braelyn, Penny, Traci, Me and Toby Tyler! We rented a house this year right as you enter the state park area. The house was huge and had room for everybody! We really enjoyed being able to look out the huge front window and people watch as the rv's, trucks, and etc went by.

The mountains we rode the ATV around.


Madi got to go on her first ATV ride around the area. Ok so the parking lot. But that was enough for her. The funny part, she was willing to ride with her mom and grandma, but unwilling to ride with Daddy. I guess she must have heard about his driving abilities! It was very funny!

Our friends the Hopkins, who live in enterprise, have a horse on their property. Angie really wanted to ride it, so they saddled her up. Angie rode her around the property (or the horse walked Angie where it wanted) and she had a good time. Madi was not so sure about the whole thing. She chose to stay away from it and ride the ATV with Robin.

We rented a pontoon boat and took it out on the Lake. It was warmer earlier in the day, but we managed to have a fine time. But by law the girls had to wear life jackets. Who knew they made ones that fit 3 monts old! Braelyn was very comfy in hers, but Madi wasn't happy about it, so Doug and Angie wore theirs also! It made for a cute family photo!

Madi had a great time hiking (err walking around the park) and looking for wildlife. She is just so stinking cute and had a great time in eastern oregon. I can't wait to go again with the whole family, including Jeff and Morgan next time!
