Crazy Love Gamble-Style

I know I haven't been blogging much.  I'm having camera issues and life has just been a bit busy.  So here I am, back with a phone photo catch-up...We are currently in Government Camp, on Spring Break.  These pictures start today and go back to the last update... This morning Ava looked outside and saw nothing but snow.  She decided she was going to ski down the driveway.  No one else was interested in going out there, but we were all thrilled to watch her from the warmth of the indoors, through the window.  She got all geared up, all on her own, grabbed her skis and started the hike up the long driveway.  When she had made it about three quarters of the way up she jumped off the road into someone's driveway, we all tried to see why she had done that, wondering if there was a car coming or something, as there is rarely traffic on this road.  Sure enough, the very worst kind of car was coming, the snow plow!!  He breezed down and shoveled all that snow away, and if

John & I got to sneak away for the weekend for our anniversary last weekend.  We hit the nine year mark March 4th.  : ) We decided to drive south and hike through Cape Perpetua, which is two miles outside of Yachats.

We were blessed with perfect weather.   We even grabbed a bottle of wine, 2 beach chairs and our books and just sat on the beach and soaked it all in.  What a great weekend!  Happy
