Black Butte Ranch, Oregon

While visiting my sister in Oregon, she decided to book 4 days and 3 nights at a cabin in Black Butte Ranch, Oregon. BBR is located in Central Oregon and is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It's located about 2 1/2 hours outside of Portland. We stayed at a cabin that was located right off the 17 hole of the golf course. It has 3 stories, 4 bedrooms and 2 bath. The scenery was spectacular, the weather was unbelievable and we didn't want to leave. We ate breakfast and dinner outside on deck that overlooked the golf course. We loved it and can't wait to go back next year!

After dinner, we walked to the 17th hole to watch the boys hit some golf balls. 
The girls had so much fun running around the greens.

The lake was right next to the pool.  Broken Top Mountain is in the background.

Amazing view from the pool, the snow capped mountains in the background are called Sisters.

Peyton swam the entire day!

Arts and crafts on the deck.  We painted a whole lot of pine cones on this trip.

There were miles and miles of bike trails around the ranch.

The girls went jogging.

We played horseshoes in the back of the house.

The girls begged to rent this bike... so we did.

Soccer Camp

This week, Shea is working at a soccer camp for kids. Peyton was lucky enough to partipate in the soccer camp for two days. The camp lasted for three hours each day. Peyton was exhausted, but she loved every minute of it!

Shea made her work hard! 

I've never seen her look so red before!

The Oregon Zoo

This past Monday, we went to the Oregon Zoo. We rented a double stroller and we were off! We had a chance to visit all the animals at the zoo. I think the girls favorite was the baby elephant. We got to see him being fed and the zookeeper was teaching him new commands. Peyton got a chance to speak to a zookeeper about the mommy elephant, so she learned something new about elephants. We even got to ride on the train that goes throughout the zoo. It was such a beautiful day!
