A Few Oregon Pics

And by a few I mean over 40 or so.  That means you should probably sit back and sip that Dr. Pepper in your hand while you peruse this post.  

Rock loves sports and golfing.  Papa Dave had a mini driving range set up in the back driveway, so Rock made sure to hone his swing.

I think he envisioned that Ryker would be his ball boy, but Ryker refused to acknowledge that idea.

He was too busy playing with Buddy.

Eventually Ryker got his own turn on the range.  His stance is a little unorthodox, but it works.

rock noticed that Buddy ran out of drinking water so he ran into the house and filled a cup.  Buddy didn't say it, but I'm sure he appreciated it.

They sure love Buddy.

Ryker loved having food ready for him whenever he wanted it.  All he had to do was look adorable and someone would fix him something delicious.

They spent a lot of quality time in the bath tub.

DeA thinks it is because they like the water, but I'm sure it is because they highly value hygiene.

Look at them, getting all clean and hygienic.

His face doesn't show it, but he's having a ball.

One day the boys got to release their wiggles in a jump pit.

They loved jumping their little hearts out.

Sometimes the landings weren't so smooth, but that didn't stop them from jumping.

Look at those mad toddler hops!

I'm sure it's just like being in outer space.

I think Mama Zista had fun, too!

Then they went to a petting zoo and watched the animals.

They both did a great job of feeding the goats food and not their fingers.

"Mmm...unprocessed goat burgers..."

"The unprocessed goat burger licked me!"

Eventually the boys got tired of walking and climbed on some taxis.

Eventually they found their way into a corn maze.  Ryker was worried that they'd have to eat their way out, but luckily it never came to that.

To celebrate their conquering of the maze they enjoyed SnoCones and cotton candy.

Lots and lots of cotton candy.

"Mmm...root beer SnoCone..."

After recharging and refreshing the boys hit the giant inflatable toys.

"Whee!!!!"

The whole time DeA was just thinking to herself "Oh yeah, work yourselves silly and wear yourselves out!"

Her plan worked like a charm.

Eventually it was time to come home to Manson.  Ryker went out and shook Buddy's hand one last time.

The boys were excited to get to the airport early to watch the planes.

Mama Zista looks happy, but she's already missing the boys.  And Ryker just noticed the hot dog stand.

"Bye bye Mama Zista!"

"Will you tell Buddy that I miss him for me?  Oh, and Papa Dave, too"
