The 1st attempt at blast off for the water powered rocket!

Thanks to a little help from Uncle Jon we have blast off!

What good team work Dori and Dominic have!

Boys will be boys!

More chatting!

"What is Richard doing with that golf cart?"

"It's for me?!?!" I think he liked it!

I think he was still in shock that it was for him!

Papa was in awe of his new toy! I don't think we could have surprised him any more!

Here Papa gets some help cutting his cake!

Nothing like a cold brewski (non alcoholic of course) to end a great day!

Final picture of the day...I think Paxton had enough!
Happy Birthday Dad, It sure looks like you had fun! Love you!

Paxton ready to go

Dominic is ready to go

The chaos that is a big group picture! We went to Kennewick WA for Richard's family reunion! This was the group picture time!

Grandma and cousin Trinity hanging out!

It had been a long morning so this was as good as we got for our family picture!

Dominic and Great Aunt Janet, I think he was trying to get a bite of her banana!

Aunt FeFe and Trinity relaxing

Mommy and the boys in the pool at Aunt Tanya's house!

Just in case the pool wasn't enough to cool you off there was a slip-n-slide to help also, daddy really liked it!

Dominic liked it a lot also!

On our way to camping in LaPine! I love this rest area!

Did I mention that I love this rest area?!? (Just outside of Bend)

We drug our bikes for the entire trip and I got a flat tire the 1st time we used them!?!? I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who has ran over a push pin in the forest?!?! Go figure!

We found a wonderful lake just outside of LaPine. It is called East Lake and you can only go 10mph on the lake for boats. The beach was smooth pebbles, it was really nice. We found it a welcomed relief with it being over 100 degrees at our campground and not really much water to play in!

Dominic testing out the water

Putting rocks on daddy, what fun!

Mommy hanging out on the beach!

BBQ hot dogs on the beach!

Mister duck, we fed him some of our buns!

Getting ready for Smores!

Paxton is such a good sharer!

Dominic thinks Paxton is a puppy!

That must have been a really good smore, or maybe he is doing yoga?!?

We had to go see the Big Tree at the LaPine State Park so we used the fence around the tree for a tripod.

Then we went to the High Desert Museum, here are the boys outside of the Tee Pee!

No, we don't know these people but we thought they were pretty cool. They are at the homestead at the museum and they talk to you as though it was that era and you were visitors to the home. It was really neat!

Outside of the actual working saw mill from the 1800's. They use it to make all the lumber for the buildings at the museum.

Who said the laundry mat can't be fun?!!?

Playing in the pool at the KOA in Bandon, OR.

The boys on the front porch of the cabin we stayed in at the KOA. We went from over 100 degrees to 60, it was crazy but that is the Oregon coast for you!

"Boy this chair is lumpy"

Paxton had to rescue the runaway inner tube!

The weather cooperated for a little while while we were at Honeyman State Park for mommies family reunion!

Aunt KeKe and Mommy took Paxton for a ride in the raft. Keila and I are thinking about going into the rafting business, that's how good we were! LOL!!
