These are not the photos I had promised .....but it was a good day!!
Today I went and got Jathen at nine and had him untill five pm. What a fun filled day with him and my mother and sister!!
We started out by meeting at Point Defiance Zoo. It was very busy, but awesome weather. We made our way around tha zoo seeing the Elephant, Tigers and Monkey's (Tigers are Jathens favorite) and many more animals as we went around. since it is now Summertime the zoo is a hopin' place they tend to have the food booths and alot of sugary sweets available that are not normaly open year round, so we decided to splurge!! thruought the day we had waffle fries and chicken burger! Then as we continued along we had a cool mint twisted icecream ...(it was very good)! And we also had a little Cotton Candy!!
So on part of our way around the Camel rides were open and I personaly have Never been on a camel and thought it sounded so exciting. I like doing things with Jathen that are differant and special when he is with me. So I paid for myself and Jathen to take a ride and anna and mom paid for anna to take a turn with Jathen again after me. so as we waited to "board" Jathen kept asking is it my turn? is it my turn next? I want to ride , my turn? so I thought this might be ok" but he better ride with me then Anna so he's not freaked out ...well didnt work so well!! As soon as the Camel was ready for us to get on, he began to stiffen up his body and started screaming...he was very scared! but we got on and took our turn on the camel i thought was super neat!! Then it was Anna's turn but Jathen said "No No not again No" so Ann went on her ride alone. Least she didnt have a kid screaming at her and people watching saying that kids going to be scared for life. Well if those people knew that little boy, they would know later he would be talking and bragging about ridding a camel!! He was just fine and totaly enjoyed the rest of our day, so dont worry. He really enjoyed feeding the birds on a little stick with seed on the end of it!
Jathen Loved the cool mint iceream too, it was Huge!! We shared the icecream and because he was trying to hold it as I ate some, he kept laughing as he got it on my face!! And then he would call to my mom saying "Lizbeth , look Lydia's face she got on her mouth", and would laugh at me thinking it was very funny. He made me laugh alot today!
-So these photos are in random order but that's alright-
After the zoo we headed home to where we headed out to the back yard where I have been waiting over two weeks to cut out a house with Jathen and play in one from some Cardboard from work that i had saved. And because the weather was nice out and in our box house it was hot...I set up a little pool. and we got wet and splashed around and he laughed and laughed with Anna and I. After getting a towel and drying up my now shivering boy we went inside got dried up and we both had a glass of milk and sat in my new chair and watched a little Leap Frog learning dvd...then I took him back home!! Today was a blessed day!! You may not see Mom in any of these photos but she was there with us having a good time together!

More Vacation pictures...plus...A trip to the Oregon Caves
So Manny came to visit for the day and we enjoyed seeing him for a while. We went down to the creek and boy was it COLD....he had to study and work so couldnt stay very long. A few hours was better then nothing.
Then yesterday (Wednesday) Anna, Sam and Myself took Gracie and Matthew and we went to the Oregon caves. They were amazing and these pictures don't even do it half the justice when seeing it in person! There were so many amazing things thru out the whole thing. There was over 500 steps we took over the whole thing!! And towards the very end, is a part in the Cave were the acuastics are Amazing!! One of the other gentleman along with Sam and I, we sang Amazing Grace as the rest of the group was about 20 yards at the end of the cave listening to the sound. It truly was amazing. It was as if we had microphones with reverb added... but of course it was jus us standing there. I wish I had thought of it before we sang but I could have and should have recorded it on my phone. oh well. I will always have it in my memory. Here are some photos. I will share even more later.

| The entrance to the Oregon caves |
 |
| These are called soda straws |
 |
| This is one of ten arrows that were burn't on the cave walls in the 1800's |
 |
| I wouldn't want to be stuck in the dark in a hole like that in the cave. |
 |
| Can you see the heart?! its formed out of well, I dont remeber the name...but it was the first kind of antibiotic used in the 1800's...if put on a cut or wound it acted as a natural healer. |
 |
| This one kinda of looks like a cat going up a drain pipe. see it? |
 |
| If you look close...there is a shape of a coke bottle thats fizzing over. |
 |
| This stair case (we went down) is were a water funnel formed this downward passage about thirty feet deep. |
 |
| The big slab looking part on the left side is called a Canopy...on the inside if you look at the rock...its design in the rock look likes a Human sceleton. |
 |
| This design looks like milly bugs...but its actually a type of moss. |
 |
| Sam and Mathew and I took an additional 150 vertical steps to a loft type dome where these amazing rocks were. |
 |
| Sam and Matthew at top |
 |
| The three of us at the top. |
 |
| add black light to the cave walls and the calcium and rocks look amazing and have lots of color. |
 |
| Matthew and Gracie all done and out of the cave. |
