Trip Recap: San Diego |
If any of you follow me on
Instagram, then you know that I had the most fun summer ever! T Money and I were gone for most of the summer on vacations with the family. We ended our summer (because I am back at school with teacher meetings, etc. grrrrr) with a trip to San Diego. Our next stop was Oregon. Now, most of you know that I am from Portland, but we weren't really in Portland for most of this time. We went to my
cabin, my favorite place in the world, at Crescent Lake. I spent so many summer days at this place. I have so many fond memories of swimming, getting on Irv, the old row boat, skinny dipping, riding sea-doos and boating, playing cards, and late night skits at this cabin. It's so fun to be the "adult" here, with all of my nieces and nephews running around. I am the youngest of five children and I have three sisters with children, so we have tons of little ones running around.
Let's be real here for a sec, my family has a really hard time being together without fighting, and for the most part, we survived with no fights. It's a miracle!!! Woooo hoooo. No, in all seriousness though, I do love my family and am grateful for their beautiful children, sarcastic humor, and good times at the cabin. There were so many good pictures that I didn't know which ones to pick, so I am going to do a Part I and Part II. Yes, I even had to cut down pictures for these two posts. So many cute pictures!
Enjoy!

I'm not blessed with any nieces or nephews yet but the biggest thing I miss about none of my cousins being little anymore is the chaos at family gatherings. Its just not the same! I can't wait until myself and my siblings start having babies so the chaos can begin again!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous and special time with the family.
ReplyDeletethat was a fun family outing
ReplyDeleteI'm from Washington (an hour from Seattle) so seeing your pictures of Crescent lake makes me think of home! Looks like you had a great vacation! I love seeing my boys making memories with their cousins. This year, we drove with my niece and nephew from Seattle to my house in SoCal and had them stay with us for a week...best week ever!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, lovely kids!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures that were taken! Shane sent me ! :)
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to visit Oregon!! Looks like it was a blast and all of those kids are so adorable!!
ReplyDeleteOh my your family reminds me of mine so much! We are constantly fighting, but aways making up again and then we're all happy again! We had holidays like this too. Now we're all grown up, i'd love to have somewhere like this where we could all go!

What cute kiddos! I've got 12 nephews and nieces (and all but 1 nearby!) and love the chaos that ensues! I haven't been to Crescent Lake in years.... after these photos I'm gonna tell my hubby that we need to go!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and beautiful looking kids. I have 8 nieces and nephews all under the age of 7 (lots of siblings) and it's a blessing and stressful when they are all together. As a military member, I am not around family most of the time, so when we get together, it makes the moments even more sweeter when the little ones are there.
