4th of July!!!

We decided to stay in town for the 4th (we are heading to Yahats, OR on the 9th), so we went down to the park to watch the fireworks. We were unsure if Chloe could make it till ten, but she did. She mostly love the fireworks. Little scary at first with the big booms, but then there were a lot of ooohh and ahhhs.
Swinging in the park before the fireworks.

It was a really hot day, so Brook set up her pool and we all lounged in it. She loved the slide. It just seems like every day is more and more fun. Next we are heading out on our big vacation to the Oregon Coast. We will be gone for a week and I am sure to have some great pictures of the trip soon! Hope everyone is having a great summer!! Love, The Benders


More Summer Fun!!

Reckless Kelly show....Me, Michelle, Marshall, and Annie. We had a blast!!

Really Chuck!! This was at the Reckless Kelly show last Friday night. Collette partied her pants off!! :0 Chloe and I have been enjoying parent swim mornings at Ivy Wild. We play with friends on Mondays and Fridays in the kiddie pool. She is such a fish!

After our boat ride with the Lamms we hug out with the fam. Piper and Cassidy are getting so big. They are so good with Chloe.



Tama and Cassidy


Lovin' the boat ride!!


The Lamms treated us to a boat ride on Cascade Lake a couple of weekends ago. Chloe loved the boat ride.....especially when we were going really fast.



This was her first experience with sand. She dug in the sand for almost an hour....wow!!



Fun in the sun!



Nana Bender took Chloe and I out to Jug Mountain to see Bubba and have some lunch.


Our first trip to Roaring Springs. She loved it. We went down a few kiddie slides and floated on the lazy river.
