pictures....

Here are some of the many pictures I had to share with you.
I finally found out how to get them from the picture program and to the blog :)

The first is Jessica, Patrick, & Ryan goofing off on the trip up through California.

The second is Jessica and Ryan freezing on our first stop after we crossed into Oregon. Jessica was so cold that you would have thought it was still winter..haha! I thought it felt great!

This one of Patrick is a funny story. When we stopped at this park/rest area about 2 hours south of Salem, OR Patrick & Ryan took off to explore. The rest of us had to use the restroom.
When I asked the kids to pose on this stump Ryan says, "Patrick peed on that stump."
Unbelieving I asked Patrick and he confirmed that. I asked why. His response, "I was trying to attract the bears!"
That's our Patrick!!



Here are Autumn & Patrick with some of the "goodies" they found in the above mentioned park/rest area. :)
