Glamping Adventure

The first every Bates/Woods family camping (well Glamping) trip was a success, even if we were only in North Bend! I think the kids thought we were hours away and definitely camping since we did in fact sleep in sleeping bags. Lucky for me we were in a yurt not an actual tent.

It was a beautiful day so we spent most of our time playing in the river, going on adventure walks, sitting by the bonfire and of course ending our night with smore's!


















Happy 5th Birthday!

Kallie had quite the birthday celebration this year. Just like her daddy her birthday turned into birthday week . . . as it should be when you are turning 5 years old!

Kallie was so excited for her gymnastics birthday party she asked us every day how many days until her birthday party. When the day did finally arrive she was all smiles from beginning to end. The kids spent two hours running, jumping, swinging and most importantly having a great time. From what I could tell the foam pit was the biggest hit for the kids AND the adults. All and all the party was a big success and we had a very happy 5 year old!

Last year I took the day off on Kallie's birthday so I decided to do the same this year and officially make it a mommy/daughter tradition. This year she decided she wanted to go to the zoo so off to the zoo we went. She was in charge of the map so we made sure to see everything on her list! After the zoo we had lunch with daddy at his office followed by dinner with Grammy/Papa and Nana/Doug at our house. We had Kallie's favorite meal; cheeseburgers, corn on the cob and tater tots. I would say it was a pretty perfect day with with my girl and I can't wait to see what adventures we will get up to over the years.
