Where to begin? Our August got crazy. Mostly good! We went on a little family vacation to Mount Hood. Despite the cooler weather, we got lots of pool time and we hiked around Wildwood Recreation Site, which I highly recommend, especially with kids.
It was a good weekend and so nice to kind of unplug. The resort we stayed at was quiet and beautiful and I think it’s going to be an annual spot for us!
Logan and I went on an adventure to Frog Pond Farms and I DEFINITELY recommend it! It was such a cool place and we can’t wait to go back when it’s the harvest season! They had alpacas, llamas, goats, pigs, donkeys, camels, chickens, tons of bounce houses, playgound and toys. It was so cool.
We went to my friend’s annual party where they roast a pig and do brisket the traditional Hawaiian and Puerto Rican style. There was live music and tons of food. It was a great time.
Logan is starting 3rd grade and Zoey is starting POTTY TRAINING!!! (Send us good thoughts please.)
I’ve been doing a ton of paddleboarding this summer and we recently took Logan out for the first time! We went to a spot in Canby on the Molalla River. It was beautiful and so much fun. Logan was nervous but had a great time and wants to go again.
Lastly, on a very sad note, Michael’s stepdad passed away after a short illness. I’m not going to write much about it but I wanted to say he is very much missed and these are two of my favorite photos:
It’s been hard for everyone as we all navigate this.
I hope everyone had a good summer and back to school day!

Sounds like you had a great end to your summer, except for Michael’s stepdad passing – my condolences to you all. Can’t believe Logan is going to be a 3rd grader! And good luck with the potty training for sure. It’ll be nice to be done with diapers!
