Go Go Gaga Times!

Gaga was able to come for a special visit for a long weekend.  It was quite an action packed four days... Day One:  Greg and I got to run away for some adult fun at McMinemin's Grand Lodge for a night while Norah and Gaga had fun back home.  Day Two:  We had lots of fellow Packers fans over to whoop and holler as the Packers took the Super Bowl.  Video to come!  Day Three:  Mom and I put our project hats on and remodeled our bathroom, bye-bye shower doors, hello spacious bathtub and stylin shower curtain!  Day Four:  (my favorite)  Norah, Gaga and I enjoyed some good old fashioned Oregonian recreation.  We hiked to Sweet Creek Falls and visited the coast and watched the sun sink into the Pacific.  It was such a great visit, I wish we would do it all over again right now!
Thanks for the good times Gaga!

We, of course, had to make a stop at the Hideaway to enjoy the best breakfast in town and the most happening sand box around!

Norah can't get enough!  Finger lickin' good!


On Gaga's last day we decided to make the most of the wonderful Oregon scenery and weather!  We headed out to Sweet Creek for a sweet hike to a sweet falls.  It was a great hike, and Norah hiked the whole thing all by herself!  She is getting so big and just loves to run around outside.

Ready or not Gaga... here I go!

On the boardwalk, we'll be havin a ball

Norah loved having her Gaga around!

Fresh face to the world!

It was a great day for a walk in the woods!

Three generations of wild women!

Girl on the GO!

Bishop can't wait to jump in!

We made it, Norah hiked all the way to Sweet Creek Falls, and all the way back... that's two miles!

Taking it all in...

Gaga and her girl!

Hold on Gaga, here we go!

We stumbled upon a herd of elk who were enjoying the sunshine after the rain.  The buck in the back was clearly in charge and they were watching us very closely!

Norah spots the rainbow and tells us all the colors she sees.

Norah tried to climb to the top of the dune, saying 'Sane bots' the whole way up.  For cute!

Norah found her lucky charm at the end of the rainbow... it's Gaga!

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy!

A perfect day to end a perfect visit!

Thank you, Noah, for making this wish come true!  
This is even better than I had ever imagined!
