August Update

Most of our summer was spent trying to spend as much time outdoors as possible.  Luckily this summer in Oregon was a little longer than the one we had last year and even though we only hit 90+ a few times...the temp was perfect.  Really if you have to use AC to be comfortable....it's too hot and you really don't enjoy the heat.
The girls enjoyed all kinds of outdoor activities that they are finally old enough for like Oaks Park and amusement park that been around for a long time, berry picking at some of the best berry patches around, and a few weekend trips with family.

At Little Clippers getting ready for a much needed haircut.  After the daily fight to get a comb through those curls we decided it was time for a hair cut.
