Little Red Riding Hood

(The kids get Birthday parties on their odd years. So this year is the girl's turn! I start thinking way before of a theme so that I have months to see things go on sale and prepare. I feel when I wait to the very last minute I spend way more because I don't have time to research. I also like a little challenge so I try to pick non-typical themes.)

The girls played in "Granny's House".

We roasted some S'mores.

The girls intently listened to the classic (kind of scary) story.

They also went on a berry hunt through the forest. The girls absolutely loved this. First they planted the  seeds, watered the seeds and then later checked to see if the berries had grown. And they had! Their faces were priceless as they went from one pot to the next picking the berries.

All the girl's got a gift too! A wolf that has a little Granny in the belly. It was the cutest thing. The girls loved it!

I LOVE OREGON

One of my favorite movies of all time is 

"The Goonies". 

Halloween 2012

So it's no surprise that it has always been a dream of mine to visit Oregon where the movie was filmed. What better time to go than our 12 year Anniversary! I fell in love with Oregon through the movie so I couldn't wait to experience it in real life. Sounds so stupid when I say it out loud but I really was giddy the entire time.

As soon as we flew into Portland we drove straight to some hikes and waterfalls right outside of Portland. They were breathtaking!

Portland

Cannon Beach

Our room view was awesome.

And our lodge was amazing. It felt more like a bed and breakfast.

We basically did what we love to do the entire time. A lot of hiking, eating, sleeping-in, talking, sightseeing, walking, laughing, kissing, learning, napping, movie watching, driving..... It was a perfect getaway in my opinion.

Astoria, Oregon

Astoria was the cutest little town with so much history. We basically spent the day going from museum to museum. 

I can't help but feel like the luckiest girl to be married to my very best friend. 12 years under our belt and we do it with ease. Marriage has always been fun to us and we feel so blessed to be able to spend time with each other doing what we love and having a blast doing it. I'm already thinking about and looking forward to our next adventure!
