The Bailey Family: Sunriver

Last weekend we took a family trip to Sunriver for 3 nights and 4 days. It's our annual Bailey family trip for the Sunriver Festival of Cars. I think this is our 3rd year going. Grandma Twyla, Andrew and myself left on Friday afternoon and the boys met us over there that night. They had prior commitments that day. Andrew did great on the way over except for the fact that he didn't nap! We even drove during nap time. We stopped in Bend to do some shopping and stretch our legs. We had an early dinner, got some groceries that we needed and then headed to Sunriver just before the sun went down. The place we stayed at was awesome! 4 bedrooms and a huge great room - plenty of room for Andrew to run around. Saturday we went to the car show in the morning and hung out at our place in the afternoon. At the car show Andrew was totally into the cars. I wanted to get in every car and tried to open all of the doors. It was very difficult trying to keep him away from the cars. At one point he saw a light blue Porsche and he ran over to it and said "Sally!" It cracked me up. He thought it was Sally from the movie "Cars" who is actually a light blue Porsche. Kinda scary how well he knows his cars :) That afternoon the boys watched the Duck game while the rest of us hung out and read or did whatever. It was very relaxing. In the late afternoon we took a walk to the park nearby. Andrew had so much fun running around. He also enjoyed playing with the stick that Grandpa gave him on the way to the park. He was swinging that thing all over the place! That night we made dinner at our place and relaxed some more. The next morning we decided to take Andrew to see the ponies and go for a ride on them. We got him all ready, helmet and all, and he was to scared to ride it. We stayed out there for awhile in hopes that he would warm up to it, but he was just too scared, so we decided to leave. We did get some cute pictures though (see below). Grandpa Bud & Grandma Twyla, Aunt Tiffany and Thomas had to leave that day, but we were able to stay an extra day! We relaxed at the house in the afternoon while Andrew napped and then played in the hot tub when he woke up. Don't worry, we turned down the temperature so it was lukewarm :) He had so much fun playing in his own mini pool! That night we decided to head into Bend for dinner. We walked around downtown, had dinner, and then had ice cream at an old fashioned ice cream parlor called Goody's. It's such a cool place. We had such a fun trip and such beautiful weather!
