Amazing Experience!

Snow Day Mt. Ashland

2 Days

I am the last one in our family to get the flu! We will all be healthy for our trip to CA tomorrow night. Our house may be a pig sty cause I have no energy to clean (Sorry Foxes), but we will be leaving on time no matter what. I can't wait to be with family and feeling warm. It might even be worth the 12 hour drive.

WW1

Click on the picture and it will take you to the album of our most amazing
WW1 day.  In the fields the soldiers are running from real Roman Candles
being fired at them, and the hankies to protect them from the poisonous gas.
Hilarious!  We finished up with some trench cake.  We have a great thing going.
 Thanks Shumways.

Grants Pass Soccer Jamboree

November 2011 I know you're jealous. Everybody wants to spend their Saturday in the 40 degree pouring rain. We did, and look how much fun we had! Way to go Jaden, We love watching you get down and dirty.

Time Travel to 1863

We spent an action packed day in Eugene on Saturday attending the Civil War. The one between the North and South, not the Ducks and the Beavers.

Jaden was enlisted to dig trenches and chop wood, two of his favorite things.

During the actual battle they fired the cannons and had charges spread out on the battle field so the ground would actually explode. It was very awesome.

Soldiers eating the daily rations of salted fat back and hard tack. Luckily we packed our own picnic.

The advance continues over the bodies of the dead. The actual reenactment was a good 45 min. long and was amazing. Horses, cannons, retreats, advances, buglers, you name it, they had it.
