Johnson Reunion {fourth of July}

We drove all the way to Oregon, my Dad's territory!  He has the most beautiful view from his home on the Mountain.  We got to stay the night at his place before we all headed to Whisper Canyon Ranch in Lake Selmac.  It was so fun to see his handmade "bridal veil falls" in his backyard.  The kids loved his view and shot golf ball off the mountain. ha!  

We all put on our Johnson family reunion shirts and did some morning Yoga while 

we enjoyed our view.  

We spent the fourth of July going through the Redwoods of California 

{super close to the Oregon coast} and then off to the Coast.  

It was a perfect and beautiful day to be so adventurous with so many people.  We were surprised that it wasn't crowded at all, perfect for us!   Grandpa told us lots of information and trivia!

Kids had a blast climbing up the huge Redwood trees and of course doing handstands/headstands!   The coast was gorgeous too, and the kids jumped in the ocean and swam for a bit.  After the Redwoods we went to a delicious pizza place and then off to the Coast.

***The Rogue River***

possibly my favorite day and adventure... Something i have always wanted my kids to do

with my Dad, before he got too tired and old.  He knows this river so well, and i love that he took 

us all down together to have such an awesome experience.  Even Ivy went!
This was bucket list stuff for me!

***Whisper Canyon Ranch***

This place was so much fun, so beautiful and very peaceful...

horses, bunnies {brand new bunnies}, volleyball, horseshoes, etc... the kids had a blast.  The cabins

were so nice, with guest cabins, and master suites. Nice job dad and madge!

never a dull moment and many volleyball tournaments were played.
