Family Reunion in Oregon

 We have spent the last week at a family reunion with all of the Mangum family in Oregon.  
These first two pictures however are from the Mangum family reunion that was held the Saturday before we left with all of my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. 
As you can tell, we had a hole bunch of blow-up toys and such for the kids to do.  As well as a picture scavenger hunt and minute-to-win-it games.  We had a lot of fun and enjoyed spending time with family.
 These next two pictures are of Cyrus and Zayne being pirates around the home before we headed in the car on our vacation. I thought they were really cute and couldn't resist posting.

 On our way to Oregon to be with family, we stopped at the Portland Zoo.  It was really fun to see all of the different animals and take the train ride.  On the train ride, Zayne fell asleep.  The train ride was a scenic ride through the forest greenery area.  It lasted about 20 minutes.


Justin really wanted me to do this and was surprised when I did it.





 These next couple of pictures are at the Newport Aquarium in Oregon.  The boys jumped when this sea lion came right by them.  It was pretty funny. 




Quentin was playing one of the minute-to-win-it games are the beach house in Oregon.  Justin has video of most of the games we played.  So if anyone wants video, let me know.

Cyrus with Grandma Mangum watching the games.  Soooo cute

 These next two pictures are of the boys at the pizza place we went to with Justin's friends in Corvallis, OR

 These next two pictures are of the boys at our Corvallis Oregon hotel.  This river and path were just outside our hotel.  It was a nice walk and break.

These two bald eagle landed on the beach and hung around for a bit where we were staying. Justin was in heaven seeing these. 


 More from the Zoo.  These last few pictures were all taken from Justin's phone.

Lots of fun. You got some great pictures. Love Zayne as a pirate, and the boys on the bench at the hotel.

I love Oregon! We took our kids to the Portland Zoo as well. I love that zoo. It makes ours look like a jail cell. I loved the seal exhibit. We took the kids to the beach in Newport. Seriously, I think Oregon was our favorite trip we ever took. That was also 6 years ago, but I still have fond memories of that trip. How fun for you! BTW--Your kids are adorable! :)
