Summer trip to Salem, Oregon

This summer we really traveled...our last stop was Oregon country to visit Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Walt.  We had a really relaxing time playing in the pool, sunbathing, berry picking (we brought 49 lbs home), checking out many frisbee disc courses (and losing lots of frisbees), racing in a 5K Bubble Run, walking to see the llamas and spending fun evenings playing games.  Here are the pictures from that trip...

We took lots of pictures of the Bubble Run...David and Sarah joined us!
 They almost covered Grandma and McKaleigh...
 Here's the before and after pictures of the run... Alex was actually lost in the bubbles at one point!
 We spent our entire first morning picking fresh berries - and we probably ate close to the number we picked.  We ended up taking an entire suitcase home full of the berries.  In addition, we visited our favorite country farm and picked up some cherries and freshly made donuts!
 We also spent a day up at Uncle David's and Aunt Sarah's house.  We lazed around, discussed many important topics and dined on Voodoo Donuts - picked up from downtown Portland.
 Brett turned 38 years old during this trip - so we celebrated with a Mexican Dinner at a favorite Mexican restaurant and homemade chocolate chip cookies! I was impressed Grandma Cindy had a 3 and 8 candle!
 One of our favorite activities was visiting frisbee disc golf courses.  We played 3 course during the time we were there and enjoyed the pool everyday after.  We all had a favorite course and most of us lost at least 1 disc ( I won't mention who lost the most!)
 Grandma and Grandpa live near a llama farm and Alex loved walking there each day.  Grandma had lots of veggies that we took to feed the little goats.  Alex named them Wilma and Fred (and there was a ram - not pictured - he named fluffy). I might add that those little guys are gluttons! 
 We love visiting grandma and grandpa and the fun we had at their home.  It is always nice to visit them in Oregon and see and do new things.  We love a good adventure!

Looks like a great trip. I think I like the idea of the Bubble run, more than the Color Run, which seems so messy.
