Week 2 of our vaction we spent in lovely Auburn.  The girls spent a fun day exploring and shopping in Loomis and in Auburn.  We started the day with lunch in Loomis at the Fruit Sheds.

The girls enjoyed some yummy Mac and Cheese.

Audra loved the fish pond and watching the fish.

After shopping at a few antique shops we then headed to Auburn Soda Shop for a little ice cream break to cool off.

Audra's sundae melted very quickly, so she ended up just drinking it with a straw.

After dinner the kiddos enjoyed walking down to the lake and the playground.

All the kids enjoyed spending time with Uncle Nate.

On Saturday morning we spent some time swimming in the lake, or as Gav called it, Gramps' lake!  When we said it was time to leave, Audra immediately started stripping down and was ready to go. 

Gavin found my hat in the car and said, "mom, look I'm Junk in the Trunk!"  He was quite proud of himself.  He cracks me up.

On Saturday night we met up my side of the family for a little bbq.  Hadley got to meet her 2nd cousin Ella!  They were quite cute together.

Audra and Gavin enjoyed playing on the piano.

On Sunday we went to church and lunch and ice cream with Uncle Nate and Brittney.

I love the crazy faces of this girl.

Gavin found my phone and apparently enjoyed taking pictures of himself.

We had a wonderful 4th of July with friends and family.

Audra was the big helper preparing all our food.

And on Monday Gavin and Audra had their first dentist visits at Auntie T's office.  Gavin was such a trooper, he did so good.  He sat very still and let them clean his teeth.

Audra did not want to have hers cleaned, we fought just to have her sit still long enough to have her teeth counted. 

Look at this little piggy!

After the denstist we went to lunch with Auntie T before heading out on Tuesday.

On Tuesday morning after having the latch finally fixed on our car we got the car all packed up and headed out to Bend and then on to Spokane.  And we managed to fit in all our treasures and the bear!

On our way out we stopped and said goodbye to Gramps at work.

On our way we went through a little town called Orland.  Gavin was very confused at first because he thought we were going to get to see his friend Orland, so I had to explain the town just had the same name as his friend.  He settled down once I said we would take a picture to send Orland.  So here you have it, hard to see in this picture, but on the water tower behind them it says Orland.

We had a beautiful drive through northern California.

And the kiddos were quite excited to arrive in Bend and to get out of the car for dinner.  And on the way, Miss Hadley popped through her front two teeth on the top.

Once we got to the hotel Audra scratched Gavin on his face.  It was bleeding pretty good, so he needed a bandaid.  This just makes me laugh.

In the morning after we got some breakfast we headed to the car and headed out for Spokane.  Audra never goes anywhere to sleep without her blanket and her babies.  She didn't have enough hands, so she was quite resourseful and put her babies in a bag.

Along our beautiful drive.

I love how when she is sleeping, no matter where she is at, likes to have her head buried.

Hadley was quite excited to be out of the car and play in the grass.

On Thursday the girls headed out for lunch at one of my favorite places and to hit up a couple sales.

Audra found this hat of old hat of Auntie Mandy's and was enjoying putting it on Hadley.

The crazy faces of Miss Hadley.

Audra loves her Pops.

Hadley pulled herself up on the steering wheel and was enjoying standing up.

She was quite proud to get up and be standing.
