Bend, Sun River, Wild Mustangs in Burns, and Diamond Lake... Oh my!

 We had a productive trip to the Bend area these last 4 days.  We started out by visiting a little town called Sisters which is just North of Bend, followed by a visit to Redmond, and then Sun River.  We were also able to float our canoe through the town of Bend on the Deschutes River, take a day trip to see some wild mustangs, stop by a water park for the girls, swim in some beautiful rivers, and make a stop by Diamond Lake on our way home!

 One of the highlights of the trip for the girls was this mermaid tail.  All three girls had a blast swimming in it and getting reactions from other people.  The best comment they heard was from a 12ish year old girl... "Guys, look!  It's a real mermaid!"


 We even took our dogs along with us!

 Wild mustangs, oh my! Madeline has been wanting to visit this wild mustangs facility in Burns, OR.  We took a day trip out to see the mustangs and get more information on adoption.  :-)












 More fun with the mermaid tail!


 Ava lost her tooth on our canoe ride on the Deschutes river!
 Don't they look comfy?
