Mckensie went on her first camping trip in Idaho. My parents brought along thier camping trailer and let us crash in it for the weekend. This very thoughtful and meant that we didn't have to rough the weather in a tent like my parents and siblings. It was rather cold in the evening and it rained very hard the first night... this was a big switch from the Texas heat. We loved seeing our family and having the cousins play with Mckensie. She was passed from one cousin to the next, each one wanting to hold her and have thier picture taken. My mom found Mckensie's first tooth, which explains her being a little more fussy than normal. Mckensie is a little trooper... she traveled well in the car and on the plane. Being gone for 11 days takes it's toll, so when we finally returned to Texas we took a few long naps to recover from all the action.

Sam, Mckensie, and I traveled to Oregon to spend time with family. We had an great time visiting with everyone and enjoyed the cooler Northwest weather. We went to the Oregon Coast, Portland Zoo, and one of the local parks.

 

It was Anna's first time in the pool... she did great! Mckensie loves the pool although the weather was a little cold for her and her parents!

 

We spent time with Adam, Audrey, Ken, and Susie at the Oregon Coast. It was Mckensie's first time to see the ocean. She watched the waves crash and enjoyed sleeping in the car along the way.

 

We put Mckenise a swing for the first time to see how she liked it. She seemed a little confused... maybe next time!

 

Sam's mom was super nice and made Mckensie and I pioneer costumes. I am still waiting on the picture that had me in it but for now this one will do..She also made matching outfits for Mckenise and her cousin Lucy..Maya had her costume from last year. Both Maya and Lucy did great in their photo opp.. Mckensie on the other had was quite cranky!!
