Sunriver - Our Family Vacation!

It all happened so fast. Cirdan wanted to take a vacay with just the 2 of us. Summer was pretty crazy and I just didn't know how that would happen. He still wanted to take a vacation and get away from work so he decided we should take a family road trip. We first talked about driving down the Oregon/California coast. That was the plan until we started really planning and thinking about it. Two days before we were going to leave we started looking online. I found a resort in Oregon that looked fun and Cirdan said he was also looking at resorts in Oregon/Idaho. He took a look...called and we ended up getting a screaming deal! They only had one room available so as it happened, things fell into place. We left on Wednesday and got home that following Friday. I took lots of pictures of course. I doubt they are in order but whatever....right?
It was a beautiful drive
The car was stuffed with food and activities for the kids
Always have to have a driver picture
We stopped at a rest stop in Mt. Hood. It was beautiful.
Here the kids are sitting on the back porch of the lodge we stayed in.  
Sunriver has a new water park but we also had a pool at the resort. We ended up only going to the pool the whole time and not even trying to fight the crowd at the water park. It did look fun though....water slides, splash pad, lazy river etc.
The lodge that we stayed in was 2 stories. It had a couch pull out bed downstairs with a kitchen and a full bathroom. Upstairs had 2 queens and another full bathroom. It was plenty of room.
Out back we had our own little deck. The kids liked to go play on the grass or sit in the rocking chairs.
Beyond the grass was the golf course were we could watch them play.
Beautiful breathtaking sunsets
We had a lot of pool time!! Our usual day started with a few hours at the pool. I think there was only 1 day we didn't go.
Relaxing
At the pavilion there were shops, a little grocery store, food, and fun stuff for the kids to do. Jett loved the train!

We loved to go to the little shave ice place. This was Kaiya's favorite treat and we went here a few times.
There were 30 miles of paved walk/bike trails. It was fun! Cirdan borrowed his buddies bikes for him and I and the girls got to take theirs. Cirdan rented a little trailer for the boys to ride in. Jett loved it but Cannon cried every time we put him in there. We tried to take a family ride but since that didn't work I had to stay home with Cannon the other times they went out.
