Medford Oregon here we come. We left Tuesday morning for our week long trip to visit Quinn's cousin Jason and his family before they move to Arizona next month. They have loved living in Medford and we had been wanting to visit. This gave us a little push. So we rented a van and headed out on a two day drive. The kids were pretty good. We had lots of toys and movies.
This was my favorite part though when they were both asleep. It was a long first day. After 8 hours of driving we pulled into our hotel in Reno for the night.
The kids were very excited to go swimming.
Quinn was very excited when we pulled in that night and saw the big hot dog.
We had to get pictures.
Gotta love a continetial breakfast.
As we went up over the mountains of Northern California we hit a snow storm.
Trying to keep the kids happy.
After another 5 hours of driving we pulled into the Walkers home in Medford. Emma and James were very excited to play with all the new toys. Emma loved Dallin's tool bench. We had the house to ourselves that night. Jason and Jill had been in Phoenix house hunting and didn't make it home when originally planned. They made it the next the night.
The next day we got back in the car for a 2 1/2 hour drive over to the Redwoods and the beach. It was beautiful even in the light rain and wind. Here we are at Battery Point Lighthouse.
Emma and Quinn exploring the tide pools.
James brought me every rock he could pick up.
Quinn and Emma running from the waves on Crescent Beach.
Playing in the sand and getting very dirty.
Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox, Babe outside the tree museum in the park.
Quinn expertly drove our van through the Tour Through Tree.
We let the kids take a break at the park.
Quinn and James walked through a redwood log.
We then went for a short walk through the redwoods in the rain. It was so green and very beautiful.

So tall!
Love it!
Back to the Walkers home. Emma was so excited to see Dallin. They had the best time playing together.

SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!! Can't wait to read Part 2!
Oh, I'm going to miss them being up there. We have not been to the redwoods when there hasn't been a rainy mist. I think it looks more beautiful that way, and the smell is amazing!!!!
So glad you guys came to visit! We loved having you here!
Awww! Looks like you had fun!
Look like you had tons of fun. Love the pictures. Love Mom V
I thought that just as any Air Force plane carrying the president is Air Force One, any motor vehicle carrying Quinn is the Wiener Mobile. Good to see there is an official one out there.
