Bend, Oregon

Quinn was supposed to go to Bend for a work retreat, but the retreat was cancelled.  The Crofts have a cabin there, and told us we could go use it because they weren't going to be using it for work.  We took the kids out of school Friday and drove down about 4 hours just past Bend, to Sunriver.

We got there LATE Thursday night, and Friday morning we woke up and got in the hot tub!

Check out Lance showing his muscles like the big boys!

Then the kids played around the cabin for a bit.  There is a ping pong table in the garage.

Then we drove into Bend and went to a family fun center for some family fun.

Check out our bowling shoes. 

After bowling we went out back and hit some balls in the batting cages.

(And ate the candy we won with tickets from the arcade.)

Makayla was proud to hit 5 balls on her turn!

Then we ate lunch and went back to the cabin to play and wait for cousins to join us!

This was the girls room:

Downstairs the boys found some video games to keep them busy.

Then our cousins from Salem made it- so we ate dinner and went back into the hot tub!

Here's Allie, Cameron, Dylan, McKenzie and Makayla.

Saturday morning we woke up to a big hot breakfast and got ready for a busy day!

Ummm...

Uncle Marcus found our camera.

Quinn & Marcus took the older kiddos to try skiing on Mt. Bachelor for a bit.  Melanie and I stayed back with the others and played.  Macie, Allie and Lace played in the snow out front.

Here's the Ski-ers back from a great trip!

Time for a yummy dinner- then back out for ice skating.

Then back for cake and ice cream for theses bday girls. 

Mckenzie turned 11 on Jan. 26th, and Makayla turns 12 next week- Feb. 9th!

Sunday morning we all got ready for church, then headed home.

What a fun weekend!
