A Week in Oregon

The kids were able to spend last week in Oregon with Joseph's parents. While they were there they went roller skating, to a petting zoo, swimming, and spent time playing with their cousins and their Grandma's daycare kids. They had a ton of fun.
On the way up we broke down about 25 miles outside of Burley. So we had to call a tow truck to tow us to an auto parts store. It was a Sunday so all the auto shops were closed. Joseph determined that the alternator was what had gone bad, so he replaced it. Having never replaced an alternator before it took him about and hour and a half to get the broken one out and about 20 minutes to put the new one in. This delay made us miss a family reunion that we has wanted to attend but we eventually we made it to Joseph's parents. I am so glad that Joseph is so patient under stressful situations. 
Joseph and I then left for the week and went back up for the 4th of July. While there Joseph's brother Brady took us shooting. Aurora decided to tag along and shot the gun once.  

      While the kids were gone we painted our front room and did a little redecorating. There are still a few things left to do and I will post another pictures when we are done. In the evenings we would go out for dinner and drinks. The picture below is a Strawberry Mango Margarita which was super delicious.
