I need a vacation…
Have you ever had a vacation…and when you get home, you feel like you need to take a vacation from the vacation you just had? I feel that way! We took a trip to Utah and then as we were just getting back and I was finishing laundry and unpacking from that trip, we headed up to Oregon. I thought to myself, “Fun! Every day will be a play date for Preston; he’s going to have a blast!” Hmm…every time someone got near him he would make this “aaaAAAhhh, get away from me!” squeal…like they were going to steal his toy (which was probably theirs anyway…) he woke up every night and we didn’t want to wake the family we were staying with so I’d bring him to our bed and he would THRASH the whole night, several of the time-outs (and there were many) he wouldn’t stay where you put him and then would laugh and say, “FUNNY!” The list goes on. All I could think was, “Who is this kid? I don’t even know what happened to my son?!” As soon as we got back he was his happy self…I need to get him around other kids more often I guess… Other than dragging around this crazy kid, it was fun and we got to see a lot of people we love! Maybe next time Preston will be nicer :) Here is a look at the week…
Preston with his great aunt and uncle and some cousins…
He felt so cool sitting on top of the car with the guys.
We stopped at a place called Rice Hill and went to a crummy looking drive in where Shaun’s family used to get ice cream when they took trips to Medford. I first saw it and wondered if it was sanitary, but it seems those kind of places always have the best food! This place had HUGE cones with amazing ice cream. I made Shaun stop on the way home too.
Playing at the park with Jenelle.
Preston in one of his MANY time-outs.
Playing with the toys he disliked sharing…
In someones backyard, right on Lake Oswego.

You are TOTALLY an Edwards now……you have been to Rice Hill!!! I laughed at your description. It was so accurate. Doesn’t look like much but the reputation goes far and wide. We heard about it from others and it was a tradition in my Morgan family, too. Love the pictures. The time-out picture is going to have to go on my Picture-of-the-Month list. I love that boy!!!

Ok so the picture of Preston sitting down I thought was so cute, and then I read that he was in time put and that makes the picture 100x better!!! He is so cute and innocent, how can you put him in time out? :)

Haha… I almost always feel like I need a vacation to veg after I get back from a vacation! :) I’ll definitely feel like that after my month-long trip to Germany the day after school get out!
