To save myself the time and frustration of trying to get these from in order, you'll have to scroll to the bottom to see the start of our trip. Overall it was a great trip. A LOT of driving, but fun. If we had to do it again, we would take more time to get up there so we wouldn't have to drive about 8 hours each day. But we still saw some great sites and more importantly got to be with great people!
Lake Shasta the day before we got home. It looked sooo inviting in the hot weather!
Going over Shasta Lake
Mount Shasta which you can see from Oregon, it's so tall!
Us celebrating Cozette's birthday, on her birthday somewhere just north of Medford, OR.
We stopped at a rest stop to have dinner for Cozette. She wanted Mac and Cheese! This was the best we could do since we were still about 2 hours away from the KOA we were spending the night at.
Mount St. Helen's was worth the stop and the video you see of the volcano erupting! Just amazing!
Cozette wanted a stop watch for her birthday. Kelly was so nice to do the birthday shopping for me while we were at Fort Flagler. Thanks Kel! You made Cozette feel very special!
Having abelskivers for dinner at Kelly's since we left fairly early the next morning. She was the best hostess ever!!
Jack and Wyatt
Cozette and Atalie
Sam with his party hat going under his nose!
Going from the Olympic Peninsula over to the Kitsap. The water was sooooo beautiful!
We saw lots of deer and elk around.
JD and Ann and their kids at the Wager Reunion
Addie, Alexis, Cozette, Wyatt, Scotty, Izzy, and AtalieAll these cousins had a great time playing. I'm bummed I didn't get more pictures of Aunts and Uncles and other cousins.
Our crew that drove up together. It was so nice to caravan with Jeremy's parents.
Some of the buildings at Fort Flagler, WA overlooking the Puget Sound
Ann and JD outside of our "barracks". Down at the far end of the building was our kitchen where we cooked all our meals and had game tournaments for "Hand and Foot", Settlers of Katan and we had one outdoor game called Kubb that Jeremy and I won! It is a Scandinavian throwing game that was very fun.
Alexis at the beach trying to make a plaster of paris creation. Unfortunately most of them didn't set up, but it was fun trying! Cozette was extremely disappointed since she even stood guard by hers for about an hour making sure no kids stepped on it.

Nana and Cozette

Can you tell that Cozette took this picture? We went for a bike ride around the fort to get a little exercise. The girls went back after one part, so me and Scotty did some further exploring on the other side of the peninsula.
Beautiful girls at the RV park we stayed at in Lakeside, OR
A Port in Oregon where we stopped to have dinner.
Going through the Redwoods in Northern California on the 101. Such gorgeous scenery!
We thought all these Tsunami warning signs were interesting...
We stopped above Willits at the "drive-thru" tree. Of course we were way to big to go through it, but we enjoyed the stop. The girls and I are suckers for gift shops as well. Although I don't usually buy anything. I just like to look at all the treasures!
Checking our brake controller in Ukiah, CA on our 2nd day of the trip.
Watching movies on the itouch was a big hit in the van. They also loved the bags and snacks that Nana made for them with coloring books, games, etc...I'm so grateful that she's so creative!
Fairgrounds where we stayed in Ukiah. This is Nana and Pappy's rig
Our rig. The van did great the whole way! Thanks, Lucky! (that's our van's name since she's green)
Our first night in the Santa Maria LDS church parking lot after Mette's open house up there.
