It's late and hot, so just a glimps at our 4th vacation

Jason was able to take some time off from the clinic so that we could go enjoy some festivities down in Corvallis over the 4th. We had 2 wedding receptions, one BBQ, one trip to Newport and lots and lots of swimming and playing. During this trip we also managed to find a building that Jason is planning to practice in, talk to a loan lady about getting into a house and even a couple of dates!!!

Below are pics of the fun trip. We loved the atmosphere of Corvallis. Just driving into the city you start to breathe slower, drive slower and notice the little things. Somehow life just seems simpler there than here in the big city?!?!

Rilee soon traded in her pink boat for Taylor's water floaties so she could move around better on her own.

Taylor loved her floaties until she discovered that she didn't need them and could swim on her own. Jason spent one night in the pool teaching her the basics and before you know it, her favorite thing to do was get out of the pool, run to the opposite side of where Jason was and jump in. She's such a dare devil!!

This is the spot where Jason and Taylor had their dates every morning. Rilee and I would sleep in and J and T would get up, go have breakfast and then walk down to the river to skip rocks. Taylor totally loved the time she got to spend with her dad. This particular evening we were walking back to the hotel from the Red White and Blues festival downtown and Taylor was sure to stop her and explain her dates with dad and tell us all the ducks names.

Throwing Rocks!
