Bend

Our second destination was Bend.  We stayed in a really nice place.  After our first and more rustic accommodations, we felt so spoiled here.  This place had a couch, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, and carpet, and two bedrooms, and not one but two bathrooms.  One of those bathrooms was big enough, barely, for a pack 'n play, so it was Grace's bedroom.  It was easier for Jeff and me to relax when our kids could spread out and wiggle a bit more when we were "home" for down time and meals.  There was a TV, so we turned it on and watched the US win a game of soccer.  We caught the spirit and got very excited.  This place even had a pool, so Grace got to enjoy her first swim.

Love the tiptoes.


Both kids were very ready to get moving and get to the pool.  Grace had to explore her new raft, passed on to her by Ella and Delia, so Jonathan did, too.


She loved the water-at least, the warm water.  She wanted to crawl out of the raft and into the water, she liked it so much.  Jonathan loves being in the water and has no fear of deep water, but still freaks out when his eyes get wet.  Sigh.


Happy girl and happy Daddy after a swim.
