sunriver

We had the BEST vacation at the beginning of the month. It was seriously the perfect mix of activities for our family. It felt almost like a staycation, but in a new place. I can't recommend sunriver enough for families with kids. It was the best! Affordable, tons to do, and such a beautiful place!

Our house for the week.. we found it off vrbo. It was around the price of a hotel room and it had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, ping pong table, bikes, grill, hot tub, and a beautiful deck.

We immediately took advantage of the beautiful weather and the deck and ate dinner outside the first night.

Our first day we went exploring at a nearby river, and then went on a bike ride to a nearby park. I learned that although beach cruisers were super cute, they are not fun to ride on hills. What a work out!

We introduced Colter to the hot tub and he loved it. Our hot tub dips became nightly occurrences.

                                     

I was so excited to take the kids, especially Colter to the village after reading that there was a train ride and an inflatable area. It was such a fun time!

We ventured out of the village one day and went on a short waterfall hike. We learned that walking for a mile is about Colter's max , but we made it!

That night Ben took Colter back to the park and had some good 1 on 1 time

We also ate some yummy smores over the grill!

We ventured into Bend and fell in love with the city. Such amazing parks, cute little shops and beautiful scenery.

That afternoon we went on another long bike ride along the river and through a beautiful meadow by the airport. We finished the night at a delicious pizza shop.

On our last day, we went back to the aquatics center because it was so awesome. We could have spent every day here and still had an awesome vacation.

Wow, what a week! Such a special time with my fam. I wish every day was a vacation day :)
