Grants Pass






Kevin's Uncle Fred (yes, the Uncle Fred "of the pies", for those of you who were at our wedding, and the pediatrician) and Aunt Michele (yes, the Aunt Michele that put up with Uncle Fred making endless batches of pies, and the baby nurse) have a ranch out in Grants Pass. We've been meaning to go for years and we finally made it this year. Silly us, we've been wasting away these years! We all had a great time there.


During the trip, Noralee decided to go through a bit of a separation anxiety stage coupled with a fiercely independent/ opinionated streak meaning she starts to cry or pitch a fit if she doesn't get what she wants. This meant she stuck to my side pretty closely during the vacation, but even Noralee managed to separate herself from me enough to make friends with Shannon (the dog). We had a great time at the river, splashing around, as well as checking out the beautiful vegetables in Uncle Fred's garden, shopping with Aunt Michele (she really puts all the rest of us to shame), morning jogs along the pretty tree-lined dirt lane, and of course, eating eating eating.

We already can't wait to go back, and it's been less than a week since we've been gone.
