Finding Joy In Our Journey: July 2011

Katelynn and I got to go to Seaside Oregon for the Miss Oregon Pageant. We got to ride and stay with Tonia and Lizzy. We left Sunday June 26 and came home Sunday July 3. Katelynn was pick to go and represent Malheur county as there Princess. We had things to do starting Tuesday Thur Saturday. We were busy girls but there was lots of time for the beach, playing and shopping. I rained on us a few days but we didn't let it stop us from having fun. We bought umbrellas. This was a wonderful experience for the both of us. We got to meet alot of amazing people. About Wed Katelynn was ready to go home, she was missing her brothers and daddy. A BIG thanks to Jim, Nana and Grandma for all the help with the boys while we were gone. Enjoy the pictures.
