Back to Reality






There will never be another summer like 2011! With me on maternity leave, Dave only taking one class, and both our girls with us....we've truly enjoyed all that Oregon has to offer. In the last few weeks, we did a 4-night camping trip in "Stan the Van" on the Oregon Coast, had a visit from Uncle Matt, Aunt Amy and Cousin Eli and headed to Bend with friends where we rode bikes and Cora even got to take a pony ride.
Sadly, I'm heading back to work on Tuesday so reality will soon be upon us. Dave will be staying home full-time with the girls and taking a night class. Life is about to get a little crazy so we're happy to have made the most of our fabulous summer!

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Salar de Uyuni Tour

Southeast Bolivia is home to the world´s largest salt flats. This amounts to huge expanses of flat land surrounded by snow capped mountains. Big lakes, super dry deserts, and llamas, alpacas and vicuñas everywhere. As you can see from the photos, there are a few interesting things going on here. First, and most notable, is the huge population of flamingos. There are three different species that summer in Bolivia and winter in Chile and Argentina. But what makes it even more interesting is that the salt flats are roughly 14-15,000 feet above sea level. We are way up here. That makes the hills and mountain surrounding the plains almost 20,000 feet. Mt. Everest is less than 30,000 feet. This is home to flamingos? Yep, lots of em.
