Sun River - August 2013

Hands down one of our favorite family vacations so far was our trip to Sun River. We went for a week and had the BEST time!! Scott and I went together for our 5th wedding anniversary and we knew we had to take our kids someday. We hope to make this an annual vacation with our family now, so much to do and so many fun memories are made in Sun River! :)

We stopped at the Alpine slide on our way ... Tycen and Shaylie's first time!













Brave kids on the chair lift up the mountain!


















Grandma Jan met us there and stayed with us for 5 days! Here is a picture in front of the house we stayed in ...










We did TONS of bike riding in Sun River!!













We all enjoyed the hot tub on our back deck :)















I did a lot of running with Alyssa in the stroller while Tyce, Shay, Scott and Grandma rode bikes.























All worn out ... I love how she props her foot up on her snack tray :)












And TONS of swimming! The new swimming area (SHARQ) is so much fun!!













Ahhhhh .... lounging by the pool didn't last long with 3 little ones, but I soaked in every second I could get :)












Grandma Jan loves slides just as much if not more than the kiddos! Here she is going down on an inner-tube with Tyce ...










...  :)










What a fun grandma!!













Lyssie loves the water!




























My mom and I did an early morning water aerobics class, it was chilly but so much fun!













Gramps and Kai (Oma had to work) came down for the second half of our vacation and stayed in a house right across from the SHARQ (about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile from us). We absolutely loved spending quality time with all of our family!!
















Bumper cars with my little buggy man. I may or may not have bumped him a little too hard a couple of times :P He loved it!










Gramps taught Shay a few things during mini-golf :)














These girls adore each other!













Scott and I were able to get away for a long bike ride together during one of Lyssie's naps, thanks to Grandma Jan who stayed back with Tyce and Shay for a mid-day quiet time/rest :)












I love this guy SO much!!!

Kids' room was perfect for them, bunk beds! :)




















SHARQ!











 The whole Haij Fam also came to Sun River for part of the time we were there! They stayed a little bit past the SHARQ (maybe 1 - 1 1/2 miles from us). Here we all are at the playground ...























We had a lot of fun on this inner-tube slide! WoooHoooo!!



























Out to dinner at a very yummy restaurant in Bend for Grandma Kathy's birthday ...

























































Papa had to work and wasn't able to make it down this year.






















My dad went golfing one day and we got to hang out with Kai while he was away!





































Watching Cars together ... No words necessary :P





























Dancing to live music after dinner ...






 My mom and I went horseback riding together! Thanks to Scott who watched all the kids while we were away! :)









Tyce and Shay got to go on pony rides. How cute are they?!
























On our drive back home, I had to include this picture because it is just too cute!


We are so grateful to have had so much quality time with each other and our families! We had the best time and look forward to our next vacation to Sun River!
