Babymoon... with the parents :)

Every year my parents have what they call a field day. Pretty much cow people (as we refer to them as) get together every summer at a location and they go to the different farmers in the area and look at the cows and have yummy food. This year the field day was in Bend OR and so we decided we would meet up with my parents and make this our last hurrah and go and visit them and take advantage of the facilities. They were staying at a resort that had lots of swimming pools and other things to do, so we figured we could keep ourselves entertained while they went to look at cows. We crashed on the pull out bed in their hotel room for the duration of there stay.

My parents headed out bright and early the next morning and Kevin and I took our time deciding what to do. The most popular and appealing hike Smith Rock state park was said to be a bit strenuous and being 35 weeks pregnant we weren't sure about it. In the end we decided to try it, and if it got to hard we would just turn around. The first part of the hike wasn't too bad although I had to stop and take breaks frequently. We then got to a point where it started getting much steeper. As we started up the climb some older woman was sitting there taking a break and she told us to turn around and that I would never make it... so I was then determined to make it. It was rough to say the least or should I say miserable since the trail was called Misery Ridge. We stopped a lot, but the view from the top was very worth it (I would probably do it again).  From the top you could see 8 mountain peeks ranging from sisters to mount hood. We also were able to walk around Monkey Face which is a hot destination for rock climbers (they were everywhere on this trail) The second part of the hike was much easier (all down hill or flat) and we continued to casually stroll, relax, watch river otters, laugh, and talk.

By the end of the hike we were both exhausted though and dying of heat (it was close to 100 outside). Anyways we got to the car and as soon as we opened the door my phone was ringing. My parents on their little field trip were on a little tour of the area (in a big bus), the driver who was giving the tour had taken them to see Smith Rock. He told them it was a very strenuous and hard hike, and then they drove past our car. My mother realized right away it was my car and started to panic. She was calling to see if I was in labor from the hike... nope nothing! After the hike we went and got slushies from Sonic and some lunch before heading back to the resort to swim and play with some extra friendly deer. 

The only downside to the hike was my swollen limbs... yikes! 

That night we had a dinner and a show (they talked about cows) and then we headed back to the hotel for some shut eye. The next day we checked out and went and got breakfast at black bear diner with my parents before departing our separate ways. 

TIMBER...'s

To make a long story short I sat by a bunch of huge Portland Timbers fans in my cluster at school. Needless to say always hearing them talk about the games made me realize that Kevin and I needed to go to one while we were living here in Portland. So after a little ordeal within buying the tickets (with the help of the timbers fans) I bought Tickets and Kevin and I got to enjoy a nice evening out before baby came. The best part... they won!
