There is nothing Sam would rather do these days than play outside. He will stand at the back door desperately waiting for me to open it so he can explore. Sometimes he even tries to sneak out when I let Jasper out first thing in the morning. Once outside, he makes his rounds....the water table, standing in the grass, going up and down the steps, throwing Jasper's toys, checking for Cody - the next door neighbor's dog, catching bubbles....you get the picture, his to do list is endless! He has clearly discovered that he can have some big adventures in the great outdoors.



Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation. Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh. The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating! Couldn't have asked for more fun! A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness! Right before our Owl Walk. We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust! 3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls! It's now a running joke in our home as the tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention. If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...
