A few more of our Oregon Activities

We started home on Saturday and got home yesterday.   It's always hard to say good-bye.


While there we were also able to see Ashton in his elementary school production of Willy Wonka.


We went on a hike.



 

 I was grateful that Eliza's ankle was bothering her because we just went a short distance and then had our own fun.   (I wasn't really grateful that her ankle was bothering her, I was just grateful I had an excuse to stay back and spend time with her instead of hike)


 Gary was always sharing his "magic lotion" with whoever would take him up on it. 


We took on a couple of projects, too.   Tiffany has been talking about redecorating her laundry room, and we decided on Wednesday that we should do it.  It was fun picking out baskets, decor, and paint.  And I have to admit that I felt a little like Tom Sawyer when it came time to actually paint.





We wished we had taken some before and after pictures.  The walls were all white and it was kind of just a catch-all room.  Here is the big reveal:

 






The other project was Bunnie Brownie jars.  But that will be another day.

wow, you packed a lot in during the short time you were there. The photos are great. It all looks very organized so you must have been right at home. I am impressed with Gary's skills.
