July brought lots of travel. We drove almost 16 hours to Oregon to the Baird family reunion.
It was so worth it and so fun!
We took kind of a back way up to Oregon so we could stop in Sun River on the way and go on a bike ride as just our little family.
The first night we stopped in Winnemucca and Wyn learned how to say the word, "pool."
Then it was off to Bend to spend a night and go ride bikes the next day.
To be completely honest, I was scared to get on a bike. It had been a LONG time. But I'm glad we did it, because it was so fun and Myles loved it! Wyn was towed behind me in a little seat. She liked it for a while, but then decided she'd had enough.
Cute helmet heads!
We met Flagman!
Actually, Flagman is my awesome brother!
My brother, Brigham, was trying to lose a certain amount of weight. He made a deal with my brother-in-law, Ryan, that if he didn't lose the certain amount of weight then he would put on this skin-tight flag suit and complete some funny tasks while wearing it. Brigham did awesome and came within 5 lbs of his goal. But a deal is a deal. He got in the flag suit.
Some of these pics are out of order like this family picture. Sorry!
Here's Flagman.
He had to stand at the busiest corner in Estacada (the town we grew up in) and hold this sign Ryan made.
I can't remember if there was a time limit or a certain number of honks he had to get. He ended up getting lots of honks. Even one from a guy on a bike that just said, "honk."
This is my favorite picture of him; swinging around the pole.
He also had to go into a grocery store and buy something.
While we were in there, a little boy (pictured below) said,
"Hey it's Spiderman!" It was funny. Then on the way out Flagman gave his
"Hey it's Spiderman!" It was funny. Then on the way out Flagman gave his
fan a high-five. Look at that little skip the boy is doing. So funny!
Flagman and his wife.
So our reunion was at Silver Falls in Oregon.
One day we hiked the falls.
Myles in a cave.
He loved the waterfalls.
All of Myles' cousins climbing around.
Wyn and Daddy on the hike.

Myles and Mommy behind the falls.
Cousins in the cafeteria!
Starting back left: Orion, Diego, Nicole, and Brayton.
These aren't my cousins. They are my nephews and niece.
They are getting way too old!!!!
My parents with their kids all grown up!
Ylfe, Adam, Dad, Mom, Brigham, Me, and Tess.
Grandma and Grandpa with all the grandkids.
As you can see Kenny and I had to hold up our kids in the back
because they were bawling. So frustrating! But I guess a funny memory.
One big family picture!
Me, Wyn, and Lauren.
Wyn's cute cousins, Lauren and Jessi, really tried hard to get Wyn to warm up to them.
She's a tough one to crack, but they did a good job.
Daddy and Myles trying out the bikes.
Grandma and Grandpa.
I don't know why I really like this picture of my parents.
It's just a funny one.
Myles throwing a frisbee.
Wyn probably trying to get away from all the commotion.
Me, Tess, Nicole, Krystal, Lauren, and Wyn.
I think baby Penny is in the car seat.
They just look cute in this. :)
Wyn checking out baby Penny.
Kenny holding cousin Graham and Myles climbing.
Tess and I ended up walking the whole hike back with our sleeping babies.
It was fun, but very tiring.
We got back to the cars to eat lunch and the cafeteria had made these sandwiches
that were smothered in mayonnaise. Yuck!
The cabins we stayed in.
My cute sister, Krystal, on a bike! :)
My niece, Meri, celebrated her 10th birthday while we were there.
It was lots of fun to be together!!
More family reunion pics to come!!
