We are having a blast here in Oregon! We're even getting pretty good with navigating ourselves around everywhere. The park we're camped in has been great and we've enjoyed getting to know Donna the camp host. She has been so kind and has looked out for us in such a caring way.



We have taken the kids and dogs to Fort Stevens State Park to play in the ocean. It was a bit chilly but they had so much fun running in the waves with the dogs chasing after them. On our ride home we took a scenic drive so Mark could show them some waterfalls he knew of. What a beautiful state this is!




We've gotten a close up look at an emergency room in Portland. While Mark was getting ready for work the other morning, he hit his head on a metal brace on our trailer awning and split his head open. Normally, back home we would have just drove 2 minutes up the street to Tri-City Medical Clinic, but here in Scappoose/St. Helens, the urgent care clinic doesn't open until noon. We had to drive over Cornelius Pass and into Portland to St. Vincents Hospital. His head got all put back together and is healing nicely.



These are pictures we took at a park we had a picnic at with Kirk and Gina and their kids Today the kids said they were having so much fun and didn't want to go home. We have a little less than two weeks left and it will be back home and back to school. I guess it will be nice to have our schedule back and "normal" life, but we sure have enjoyed this awesome experience so far!!!
