In the midst of crazy-ness, just play!

Thats our motto.

Between closing on our house, & moving, we of course have made time for a few adventures! I mean, we wouldn't be the Anderson's with out putting aside oh-so-important PLAY TIME!

So we thought, that deserves a post all to it self! We went to the beach, hiked the Metolius, and spent a day hiking at this sweet place we found called round lake.

The Beach Trip was for a swim meet. We drove over to Lincoln City for the little buggers to race. The meet went really well, and on Saturday afternoon when all the swimming was done we had a big o'll Bend Swim Club Bon Fire / Pot Luck.

Jannelle & Ella both swim in my group

The kids playing


Our Round Lake hike was just a spur-of-the-moment-i'm-bored-with-moving trip. We just started driving past sisters, saw a sign for some trail heads and stumbled upon this little piece of heaven




Taylor was really happy to play in some snow!
That lake behind us is frozen.

and Taylor thought it would be fun to RUN onto the frozen lake.




It was so peaceful, and beautiful, and just what we needed; to be outside, enjoy some fresh air, and just be together for a day. No agenda.

And here are a few from the Mighty Metolius.


We packed a pick-a-nick, and walked along the river

And it started snowing. Thank-You, Central Oregon

Can you see the snow on her head?

So the Pick-a-nick got moved indoors. Which was much more cozy and warm.

Our Rental still has all our pictures on the walls, the office is not all the way moved, we haven't even started moving the garage, let alone cleaning the place........But at least we have fun! =)
