Parent Proclaimed Cutest Daughters You Ever Did See

Hot enough for ya?

We went down to Eastern Oregon for my grandparents' memorial last weekend. In order to get to the appropriate location for the memorial we had to drive to the Snake River. We were so far east in Oregon that we could look across the river and see Idaho. I would've swam there if I had gear. Thought about it, pretty seriously. Alas, there was no gear. There are people that live there year round and it takes literally a year if you're carrying a 3 month old about an hour to get to any kind of "civilization." If you want to see where we went, here's the web address from Umatilla:

I know what you're thinking: What the heck is out there? Essentially, nothing and no one which is why my grandparents enjoyed it so much. They could fish, camp and just exist without the craziness of corporate America. We got to see extended family that we hadn't seen in a while so that was nice. Here are some pictures from the trip:

We told her she was going to Oregon for the first time and she was happy.

Then we showed her the map to where we were going.

Cousin Elliott was there and he is one serious dude.

He tried to do a cannonball on the floor but it didn't work so well.

We went to the "Where are the watermelons" Watermelon Festival and V wasn't very happy.

Until she got some watermelon.

  1. V and E look almost identical. Do you call them cousin twins? I would... Then I would wash it down with an ice cold budweiser.

  2. I call them Paison Twins and polish it off with an ice cold Michelob Ultra. Only 95 calories and 2.6 carbs. That's a Paison beer, Chumps!
