August 11

It's time for me to organize and clean up my photos....so I figured I would actually blog about the things that I got to do this summer. I am sorry about my lack of blogging- but better late than never right? This August I went back home to Oregon to see the Clason kids while they were visiting from Dubai. I missed them so much. I was able to see them over there in February, but I couldn't miss out on the adventures in Ashland. When we got to my parents house the kids ran up to me and gave me a hug- so excited that they weren't shy to see me. Ivy even said she missed me! We played with race tracks and cars in Nanna's kitchen, set up all the kid camping chairs and made obstacles and tunnels for the cars. Nanna packed a picnic dinner so we could take it to the park and watch the city band play. He I am with the kids on the steps to the Japanese gardens.

This is the band shell where we watched the Ashland City band play. Nothing like summer night is Oregon. So enjoyable.
We played hide-and-go seek all over as we listened and watched the band play. They all kept hiding together!
On our way to walk through the gardens. Gorgeous.
Time to make some funny faces!


All in all it was a very nice evening. The first day of a very fun week and Nanna's and Grandpa's. I took lots of videos but am having some trouble loading them.....I'll keep trying. August 12, 2011 coming up next.
