Bend

This was us in Bend this weekend for Jake's basketball tournament. Although, we didn't come home with the trophy, we did come home with a renewed sense of family. We have had a rocky couple of months and this was just what the doctor ordered. There was no refereeing play with other people's kids, there was no real schedule to keep, and the hotel was like a castle to the kids! It was all about us and exploring and making memories together. My favorite part of the weekend was teaching the kids in a new environment and exploring with them. It was also nice to have a drive with Jake and I able to talk as much as we wanted because the kids had their movies. Ironically, we chose to be silent through a lot of the drive, probably because our minds were still winding down from the week. It was just great to see him relaxed and having fun. I loved our mini-vacation and I took a few shots to remember it by.
