Away to California we flew

Just an update on our trip to California and Oregon. We had such a good time camping with Mimi and Papa. The deer literally walked up to us. They were very tame. Noah had a ball. He still talks about the "deer" and how he got to feed them "bapples" with Mimi. There was an apple tree not too far away that the deer would feed from. Momma and Mimi helped Noah give the fruit to the deer. Their fawns were running everywhere. It was so precious to see Noah have such a good time in the wild.
On our way to the campground and on our way back we had to stop at a casino's buffet. It was fabulous. Noah enjoyed the soft serve ice cream and cookies for dessert. Most of all he loved being up on Papa's or Daddy's shoulders. Thanks to Bro.Ken Artis, this is his new favorite perch. His sign language is to hit his chest with his right hand and turn his back toward you so you can pick him more easily and place him on the shoulders. Noah with Daddy...his favorite person in the whole world.

How cool!!!! When did you guys go to Cali and Oregon? Was it for that campmeeting thing? How fun to feed deer! I'd love to do that! hahahahaha!
And yes, those casino dinners are amazing. One time my family ate at Boomtown (not sure where it is) and it was so good that I still remember what I ate. LOL!!
Tell Noah "hi!" He's adorable!! =)

Hey married gal, How are ya?

We went to Oregon the Sunday right after your wedding. We stayed there until Thursday and drove back. It was tons of fun. We weren't aware of any campmeetings taking place at the time. I wanted Noah to experience camping and playing in the dirt and being dirty all day. Isn't that crazy??? He absolutely loved it though. We actually stayed in CA but traveled to Oregon at night for dinner sometimes. Our last day there, the funniest thing happened, me, mom and Noah went into Oregon to go shopping and on our way back we saw this girl (college age) stark naked rollerblading right down the center divide. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was crazy. Thank God the men weren't with us. hahahahahaha Me and mom were shocked out of our minds. Other than that, it was pretty mild. lol and extremely enjoyable and relaxing.

Hey Vondie!! Had a BLAST with you at the wedding!! (have you checked out the pics on my blog?? LOL)

Was Oregon beautiful?? I have only been once (quizzing in McMinville LOL) but I have heard it is really pretty up there.

HA! I just read the rest of your comments, and can't believe you saw a girl rollerblading naked in public! That is absolutely histerically funny! Yeah, talk about shocking! I bet she got arrested, good grief!!!
Sounds like a really great time in OR, though. I love it there, especially the beaches! So clean, unpopulated, and you can have bon fires on them without permits! yay!

Married life is awesome--except I'm a little bored up here in cold country, so I read your blog for entertainment!
(by the way..it's October! Time for a new posting!! hahahahahha!!! Love you!!!) JK!!
