Sunset

Moving day

It's amazing how much stuff you can accumulate.  Moving Dasa and family out of their tiny house was a pretty big chore.  And most of what we furnished them with was our extras, we put off dealing with them for a year, but now we have to!

Hugo riding in style

Lana working Eric

A little scary to watch, but she loved it

Getting the group shot was challenging

That's my Hugo!

Eric and Lada

Lada adores Eric.  Someone who will let her climb over him all day.

Dasa's going away party

Everyone in the neighborhood enjoyed having Dasa and family around.  Tim and Katherine threw a goodbye bbq.  We will miss these guys

Hugo for the afternoon

Jakub had togo back to Czech for a week, so Hugo stayed with us after school.  It was tons of fun to have him there.  He enjoyed the reprieve from Czech homework.

Buddies

Felt projects

Rhododendron Garden

Dasa, Lada and I took a quick trip to the rhodie garden in Sellwood.

Lana enjoyed playing in the water.  We enjoyed the tail end of the flowers.

Rinley's chair

He's claimed it

Rock hounding with Hugo and Lada

Hugo had a long weekend so Dasa and I took the kids and went for a trip to Eastern Oregon to go rock hounding.

Pretty flowers on the pass over the mountains

Stopped at the Warm Springs reservation and Hugo did a pretty good job at the hoop dance.

First stop, thundereggs.

Lana worked pretty hard

Hugo took it seriously and really wanted to find a big one.  

He meticulously cleaned every one he was allowed to keep (weight limits on planes!)

Cliff swallows

The thunderegg ranch was beautiful

Driving to John Day after, we stopped at one of the John Day fossil beds.  Here's us

Fun fossil

First time camping in a tent for the kids

It was cold.  But they all slept on top of room, so...

I froze because my good cold weather bag has a rip from the fated death valley sand storm mad dash.

Lada was adorable, but exhausting

Hugo was great with her in John Day, helping her get to the fossil bed.

Again, Hugo took it very seriously and found some pretty cool fossils.

Lada had fun playing in the dirt, to a point.  

Overall, it was so much fun to spend time with them and show off a bit of Oregon
