Crater Lake, Oregon

We left Belfair on Thursday night and traveled to Lacey, WA and spent a couple nights with our friends, Aaron and Karisa. So then on Saturday morning we headed to Bend, Oregon. It was a beautiful drive along the Columbia River.

And on Sunday, we left Bend and ventured south to Crater Lake National Park. Crater Lake is one of the clearest lakes in the world and it is located on top of a mountain. It was beautiful.
Such a beautiful day!
He figured how to turn his hat around himself.
This friendly little guy was pretty interested in JP, until he tried to stomp on him.
Hi Mom!! John Paul loved looking at the water, but the rocks distracted him very quickly. And he kept throwing sand! What is it with little boys and having to throw everyting?

The Family, Part II

This is Wizard Island. The views were amazing!


We then traveled on for 6 hours until we reached Winnemucca, Nevada. And it was a total of 10 hours of driving--we really pushed the boys limits as to how much time they can sit in the car! It was one of those drives where there was literally no where to stop so we had to push on. We made it, nonetheless, and we don't have another hard day like that of driving anyway.

BTW, JP is doing AWESOME with potty training. We have had him in pull-ups but he hasn't had an accident yet! He has held it during some long rides too. Haven't quite gotten the poop training down, but it gives us something to work on, right?

As with all "Poop" training, you just need to push through it. :)
