Playing in the snow....

Our goal here was to find some hot springs but we got side tracked at the snow.....lots of fun playing in it when its 70 out...the hill was very steep so the safest way down was sliding.. Natasha was not too happy but she had the best seat in town...right on top of Mark..he is such a good daddy always willing to make Natasha feel safe and experience things that she more and likely will not in her adult years...we did a little shopping so my fashion diva McKayla had to show off her cute little outfit..I LOVE that she truly has her won style it makes who she is....

1st camping trip of the season....La Pine

What a wonderful camping trip that we had....we went to La Pine state park in Bend and the weather was perfect...we were able to swim, go running, biking, trail biking, hiking and play in the snow with it 70degrees...we took two of Stacia's friends, and had sooooo much fun!!!! So McKayla being the goof ball she is wanted to find her handsome prince..she kissed that frog like 20 times...so everyone else joined in the fun....Natasha sat in that water forever playing with the frogs and talking to them, it was very cute....
