It's off to Medford we go...

We got to ride along on a business trip with
My Luv last week We went toMedford for three days and had a very relaxing time.
We spent the first day in the car and
on the grounds of the hospital while My Luv worked.

We enjoyed the sunshine, and cool grass as
it was at least 90 and beautiful, in the shade :0)

Phi came down with a cold that first day

so I was
very glad for the sunshine as it doesn't seem to last
quite so long that way.

Little A. didn't get it until we were back home.
We were able to stay at a timeshare resort in
Klamath Falls which is like a condo. It was so nice to be able to
cook and keep milk and OJ cold for the kids especially with the cold.

The boys got the murphy bed mattress on the floor in the living room,
although Little A usually ended up in with us most the night.

There was a kiddy pool as well as a sauna, hot tub, and big pool
which we enjoyed one night when daddy could go with us.
Although Phi didn't enjoy it much for some reason, maybe the cold.
The days were all beautiful and sunny, the wild life was all around.
It is out far enough that there was a deer nibbling on the bushes
out side our window the first morning and a Scrub Jay began
building a nest in the tree four feet from the deck.
We went out for a walk and the Barn Swallows were building their
mud nests under the eves of some of the resorts
buildings, a nuisance I'm sure but fun to watch.
I discovered this scene on the deck railing out our back door,
a jumping spider having lunch.
There was also ground squirrels all over...

Phi found them fascinating and rather confusing as they kept
disappearing when he would start towards them.

There was a great play ground too which we enjoyed briefly
as I forgot to bring sun screen.
Most of our time was spent in doors with me trying to get some
scrapbooking done amongst other things. We brought along
Gramma Dee's B-day gift to Phi and it afforded hours of amusement.
It says it's for "two and up" but this 16 month old finds more ways to
play with it than I can come up with.
As it was intended...

A helmet/hat/ mask,
which was fun to stick on mom's head too...

If legos fit, why not I??

Phi reading books to Little A. who is practicing sitting
up. His toes crack me up, he toppled over not long after this.

On the last morning
We had a lazy start and then traveled home through Bend
where we tried stopping in to see a certain uncle, aunt and cousins.
But since we didn't call ahead of time no one was home so we instead
enjoyed their porch swing while Little A. had lunch and
Phi ran off some energy after sitting for 3 hours.

My Luv tried getting some pictures but
mischief 1 was not about to sit still for that after
hours in the car. But Little A. had a smile or two with his tummy full.

Enjoying the breeze!

We left a note so they'd know we stopped through.

We drove over Mt. Hood on the way home and it was beautiful as usual.
The rivers around here are very full because of the high snow pack this year and the sudden hot spell of 90 and above temps!
It was a fun time in spite of the 6 hour drive, so relaxing to be a way from the usual and the resort was great in place of the average hotel. It's fun to be able to go along with daddy and see new places and things!!
