We just returned from a week-long vacation in Bend, Oregon, which is a high elevation desert. We spent the majority of the time at the resort pool. It's great now that both boys are swimming independently!
We rode the ski lift to the top of Mt. Bachelor on Wednesday and enjoyed the beautiful view. Matthew was a little unsure of the lift, so he held on tight.
Once we arrived at the top of Mt. Bachelor, we saw patches of snow everywhere. It was quite warm, though, and the boys thought it was great to play in the snow in their shorts! 
We also enjoyed learning how to roller blade and playing mini golf at the resort. On Thursday night, we visited an Observatory and got to view the moon, Saturn, Venus and Jupiter through high-powered telescopes. We even saw a shooting star! Friday, we visited the High Desert Museum and learned about the hardships of the Oregon Trail. Oh, and we had dinner at the Deschutes Brewery one evening and felt like we were back in London. They made excellent fish-n-chips. All we were missing were the smashed peas!

It sounds like a blast!! How far was the drive? Looks like Joshua caught onto rollerblading pretty fast. I'm glad you guys got a last get away before school starts up again. It's not that far away, huh?
I have heard of a bumbo and we've wanted to get one for Gideon... I just wonder if he's gotten too big at this point to get much use out of it? I guess the next one would though. They look so handy- and I know he'd love sitting up so much better than laying back.
Wow! It looks like you all had a blast. How fun to be in shorts playing in the snow! That is every kids dream! I am so glad you had such a nice time.
Really? Wow- we'll definitely have to look for one, then!
