Big apple, little apple

You know that two people love each other when they just happen to do the same thing on the same day... The girls and I went to the store in Ashland and we saw these gigantic apples!  We bought one and when we got home, we took a picture of the big apple compared to a "normal" apple to send to Chris.  Well, guess who else did the same exact thing, except in Sacramento?  Yup, you guessed it, Chris did! Chris sent me a picture of "biggie smalls" (as he likes to say) the same day at almost the same time as I sent him a picture!  WOW!

Rainy and windy day fun!!

The weather is much different here in Ashland, but for the better!  We had a great rain storm, followed by wind.  The girls took advantage of both storms and played in the rain and then made parachutes to fly through the wind!  How fun!  I took advantage and took pictures of all the beautiful rainbows! :-)

Camping at Union Creek

Making pancakes :-)

Harper loves her sticks!

We made a trip to Crater Lake, but unfortunately is was raining... We took a few photos, but you couldn't see much. 

On the way back from Crater lake we had some cows blocking the road!  Ha!  They were so cute!

We visited a place called the Gorge... very beautiful place that was formed from a volcanic eruption many, many, many years ago!

Another volcanic wonder was a place called "Natural Bridge"  The water actually goes under the rock for about 150 feet.  This was such an amazing site!

This picture is where to water goes under the rock!

Mustache fun!
