Champoeg State Park

This past weekend, we took advantage of the sun and went to Champoeg State Park for some nature walks and a picnic.
 
First, the kids went for a cruise with Dad.

Then, the floppy hat family headed to the park, which is only a 10 minute drive from us.  It was a beautiful day!
 
I don't do floppy hats.

The kids love being in trees, but don't necessarily like to stay on paths.

Memorial Weekend

Saturday morning, we headed out to fish at some local ponds.  The kids like fishing for the first 5-minutes or so.
 


 
We got a lot of nibbles, which was fun to experience, but no bites.  And the kids quickly lost interest.  So we bribed them with peanuts.

 
And then let them run in the tall grass by the pumps.


 
My mom, sister, and I went shopping after the fishing adventure, which was super fun and successful!
 
Sunday, Matt started working on a project....a table to go with our new patio set.  I love it!  It is perfect and exactly the set-up I wanted.
 
 
 Monday, Matt was back at work with his little helper, Laurel, making a new game for the family.
 



 
The kids love the new cornhole game!
 
 
 
Matt also did some more work on our garden....planting replacement plants for the seeds that didn't grow well this year.

 
Our strawberries....there seem to be a million and I can't wait until they are nice and ripe!
