Matt works 7 days on and 7 days off, so on his off days we enjoy as much time together. During his last days off, April 25th to May 1st. We went on vacation with my sister, Chelsey and her family, Hans, Arlee (3), and Lydia (4 months).
Wednesday, April 25th - 1st day of vacation
Matt shifts ended at 6:00am Wednesday morning, so I booked our flight to leave Salt Lake at 9:25am. Thinking, we would have plenty of time for Matt to get off work and his mom pick us up at 7:30am.
I woke up at 7:00am and went down stairs to see where Matt was. He wasn't anywhere to be found. So I tried calling his cell phone. No answer! 10 minutes later he calls, telling me he is on his way and that his replacement was late. He got home at 7:22 and his mom arrived at 7:28am to pick us up. A little close to call.
Arrives at the airport, flew to Oregon, where it was raining, and was picked up without any further problems by the Hoges.
We took Matt back to the hotel to take a nap. Matt had to sleep somewhere after having worked all night, so I chose for the early flight so I could hang out with Hoges, while waiting for Matt to wake up.
We ended up going to a place called Washington Park. Absolutely beautiful! We started to try and hike, but Arlee ended up needing to go the bathroom and wouldn't go in the bushes, so we left after 10 minutes, got lunch, we to the bathroom, and went back.
I had the adventure of caring Lydia around and Chels helped Arlee keep her footing. If you notice, Chelsey has flip-flops on and almost fell a couple of times. We walked about 2 or 3 miles through the beautiful tree covered trails.

After Washington Park, we went to a park with slides for Arlee to play on until we heard from Matt. Once Matt woke up, we went back to the hotel, and went swimming. Well, we sat in the hot tub, because we were all cold. After warming up, we got ready for dinner and went to PF Changs. We got back and went to our rooms. The kids need to go to bed and Matt and I were tired too.
For the record: Hans said park and I thought toys and a lot of room for Arlee to run. Nothing was known about hiking in mud! Hahaha that was a good time and you are right it was a lot of fun. I would love to go back there again sometime.
