Grants Pass Trip 2008


So this weekend, the girls and I headed off to Grants pass to visit Katie,Lily and Lucy. Poor Lily, not understanding this whole "moving" thing has been asking for megan to come over and not "getting it" when Meg can't just walk over there anymore:(.
anyway, it was fun. Katie's new house is beautiful and SO much BIGGER than our sandstone apts....hang in there Chiro students....good things to come for us poor folk;o)
Megan and Lily played ALL day and we also drove down to California to see the Redwood forests! I have NEVER been to California so it was exciting for me.
I WOULD have stopped to get my picture taken by the "Welcome to California" sign if I were not so desperate to get my child to sleep! Erika is a Diehard! as Katie put it, she was in the car for over 6hrs and only slept 20min...oh and another 3min nap if that counts lol. she was SO tired but refused to close her eyes and everytime one of us looked back at her she would just laugh. sigh..
anyway..here are some pics from the trip:) bear with me..there are A LOT!

Katie in her nice HUGE kitchen! I should have taken a better pic.... but trust me, its' HUGE!
Lil' Lucy:) so sweet!
Megan and Lily, reunited at last:) Guess Meg felt like she was at home
b/c it wasn't long before all the clothes came off! haha
Katie being a dork, trying to hide her face when I took this picture:)

We were playing hide and seek and megan and Lily hid in the Pantry! it was SO funny!

Surprise! Oh boy...HOW did we find you???? Guess they don't get the concept of

see thru windows yet ! haha

Erika is almost sitting up all on her own:)

Megan and Lily in the Redwoods

This tree was amazingly HUGE!!
We look so miniature!


Megan was SO happy to see her "boyfriend" Trent
It was Beautiful!
you can't really tell here...but this was the root of tree that fell over...
My very Overtired, but happy girl. I can't complain:)
Katie and Lucy



When we got to Cresent City, Katie saw some calilily's (her FAVORITE flower) hope you're reading this TRENT!, so she decided to steal it....EVEN though she told us she thinks it's illegal to pick flowers in California! lol...
got it! later I found her stroking her face with it while I was driving. a bit weird.
LOL..Just kidding Kate-ster! haha
Katie doing some kind of funky dance while waitng for Trent outside the stinky bathrooms!
just us being stupid
Katie laughing at how bad we looked in the picture on her camera...or maybe she's still laughing after I told her she looked like a wildabeast...can't remember...

The little monkeys that turned our perfect little world upside down 6mo's ago!
LOL....how can you not be inlove with them though?

Cresent City...
Ohhhhh...Trent.

Looks like fun! I can't wait to see more of Katie's house. Question, did you all fit in one car to go down to CA? Or were you in two seperate ones? I don't know why I'm so concerned about it, just curious.

Jeff and Amy said...

Way fun! I miss good 'ol California. The redwoods are my favorite! Love the No Dumping pic - too funny! And I was thinking the same thing as Lindsey - did you all go in one car to CA?

Nicole W. said...

no no. Trent drove Lily and Meg in their car, and we took Erika and Lucy in mine:)
