Massacre Rock Camping Trip

 We loved the bigger trips we were able to take whenever we could make it happen....this was not one of them. This was at Massacre Rock, only an hour-ish away, but is still one of my favorite memories ❤️ we took our camp trailer and stayed a weekend, and there was literally nothing to do there and maybe three other campers the whole time we were there, but we had so much fun. There's a tiny visitor center at the Campground and we found out they had tiny plastic lizards and ice cream, so every day we went over and bought a lizard and an ice cream for each of us and laughed and messed around while we ate it. We came home with like, 20 tiny plastic lizards after that weekend, and every now and then one pops up and it makes me smile every time❤️😉 The little kids rode bikes around the Campground while we followed in the pick up. We went on a couple walks and Aiden and Colton caught an actual lizard in Aiden's hat, and some tiny minnows in a creek. We also saw that the visitor center had a Frisbee golf course and Frisbees u could buy. None of us had any idea how to play Frisbee golf, but we bought a Frisbee and went out and played the whole course for like, 3 hours. It was so fun. It didn't always have to be a big trip, and in fact it usually wasn't...we found ways to do as much as we could together, and we always had a ton of fun even doing the dumbest stuff❤️🥲

Peter Iredale Shipwreck

 These were from Astoria and the Peter Iredale shipwreck on the Oregon coast. We went and saw the Goonies House, Astoria Column, and the cool ships in the harbor. The kids really liked the shipwreck and it was really fun to go visit, they loved playing in the sand and on the beach, and Aiden was such a good sport and let everyone bury him. He was always the ringleader when it came to finding all the fun things to do🥲❤️

Sleep Shenanigans

Image
 Aiden and his sleeping shenanigans was the funniest thing ever. He was always sleep walking, sleep talking, and when he got tired, it didn't matter where he was, he would just tip over. I can't even count how many times he fell asleep at the dinner table 😆 He rarely made it through movies. One time at a hotel he almost sleep walked out the door in the middle of the night, luckily it had one of those locks at the top so every time he pulled the door it slammed into that and woke me up! Another time he came walking out to the living room and we had a set of stairs between it and his room. He sat down on the stairs and I was like, "hey buddy, whatcha doin?" he looked at me and said, "what does it look like I'm doing?" and laid down on a stair and went back to sleep. The first 2 pics of this set is one of my favorite memories, we rode a ferry from Seattle to Victoria B. C. and while we were waiting for dinner, he totally just tipped over and fell asleep at...

Don't Go Out and Break Your Stupid Arm

Image
Oh Mr. Aiden... This whole incident was just CRAZY 🤦 One day Aiden wanted to go and climb the tree in our yard. I was cooking dinner and didn't want him to, and as he was walking out the door I said, "you better be careful! Don't go out there and break your stupid arm!" 5 minutes later, he came back in all pale, nauseous, and covered in dirt and was like, "mom, I think I broke my arm" and I was like YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! I told you NOT to go out and do that!!!  I took one look at it and was like, yep...arms are definitely not supposed to look like that...that's broken. And indeed it was...displaced and everything, and of course ended up needing surgery🤦 So surgery day came, and I told him multiple times.... Nothing to eat or drink after midnight. We had to be there really early in the morning so as I'm getting ready I hear some rustling out in the kitchen and yelled, what are you doing!? You better not be eating! Silence. So I go running...
