Vacation is over..... after 15 lovely days in Portland Oregon, we headed home and back to the unbearable heat of Phoenix. We had a wonderful time visiting with family, friends and just hanging out. My kids were able to spend most of thier day well- being kids playing out doors, hunting for salamanders, snails, frogs playing in the sandbox for hours on end and we all have tans better than we have had in years from actually being able to enjoy the great outdoors with out melting from the heat. The posts below all sum up our trip and adventures fairly well. I think I took around 200 + pictures but I tried to only post the better ones. Thanks to my Mom and John for inviting us to the "Mystic Woods" and putting up with us invading their home for 2 weeks :) Next time I think I'll make it a little longer trip!
