Mountains, California and a walrus skull

Dave and I spent the night at Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood for my birthday.  Very relaxing:)

 This last weekend me, Lauren, Kurt and Grandma and Grandpa took a road trip to California for cousin Jessi's baptism.  Cutest two cousins in the world!  We travelled back last Monday and it was pretty much the longest day of my life.  Like the longest day... It was great hanging out in the car with my parents, but Kurt and Lauren are actually pretty annoying to sit between for 16 hours.

 Lauren has always been fascinated with Helen Keller.  So when she had to choose someone to do a biography on for school...Helen was an easy choice.  Here she is reading her braille book.

Dave got to be a chaperon for Derek and his class at outdoor school.  They went to Newport beach.  They've been studying oceanography and did all sorts of experiments and dissections.  And of course hanging out with a walrus skull is awesome.
