On July 5th I had my high school 10 year reunion. I seriously can’t believe I’ve been out of high school for 10 years! Man, time flies. I went shopping with my sisters in early afternoon, then in the afternoon I went and hung out with my friends before the reunion. I left Avery in the care of my mom so these pictures were taken by my mom.

Everyone left Sunday except Stacey and her kids. Bryce arrived Saturday night. Avery and I were sure glad to have him there! We did some fun things. Bryce and I escaped one morning and went Kayaking down the Rogue River and left Avery with Grandma. This was so fun! I loved just floating down the river and enjoying the beautiful scenery with the occasional exciting rapid. It took us about 3 hours from start to finish.
Bryce spent a lot of time studying while Avery and I hung out with mom and Stacey’s family. Tuesday morning we went to the Farmer’s market then to the Science Works museum. The kids sure loved the museum! Avery loved walking around and exploring everything. One evening we went downtown and got some delicious ice cream at Yogurt Hut then headed onto Lithia Park to keep cool and wade in the creek. Another evening we took dinner down to the Ashland Green Show. We enjoyed hanging out and relaxing! (These pictures aren’t really in order of when we did things but I was far too lazy to change them around since I was pulling from different cameras).
Avery stood here for quite awhile handing this boy the blocks so he could build his tower. It was pretty cute.

And Kallie pushing Avery on a morning walk.
Stacey and kids left Thursday afternoon. Thursday evening we went to the city band in the park. The weather as absolutely perfect and Avery LOVED the band. She also loved just sitting in her stroller. I took TONS of pictures of her, but that will be for the next post for her 16 month pictures. I just love Ashland for so many reasons and this is one of them.
My dad was in France for our whole visit so mom would talk to him on Skype.
This Aves joining in on the fun so she can see Grandpa.
Friday evening, our last night there, we went to the park again to wade in the creek since it was so nice the first time.
I’m so glad we had the time to go to Oregon and glad I have a husband who will let me go and come with me! It was so fun.
