Beau's parents moved to their new home last weekend! It is so nice to have them only a 25 minute drive up Highway 58 in Oakridge, Oregon (OROR). We all traveled up to their new home yesterday, a beautiful drive - at times SNOWY - and arrived at the house excited! What a perfect fit for them. The house already feels so cozy, and Bruce and Roberta have done a great job settling in over a short period of time. Hazel and Henley ran all around, exploring and staking out future hide-and-seek spots. (There are MANY!) Holden was content to squirm on the soft carpet and snooze in Grandma's chair. Here are some photos from our day in Oakridge yesterday...
Happy new home owners by the back deck.
The kids were delighted to dig into the treasure chest they hadn't seen since the Spokane house.
My favorite indoor spot, off the kitchen a bright corner of windows.
Roberta gave Beau some of her special books she thought he should have.
Grandpa seems at home!
Hazel in her exploring attire!
The yard is on two lots, and I loved all the interesting bird houses tucked in all over.
After surveying the yard, we headed to the nearby levee and Salmon Creek.
The community garden was a short walk away.
I imagine it is quite pretty in the spring and summer.
Walkin' on the levee.
The levee runs along the Salmon Creek...more like a river to me. It was rushing!
Downstream.
We climbed down to the rocky bank and the kids (big and little) threw in some rocks.
It was an easy trip down to the bank off the levee thanks to these large stone steps.
A quick pose from my little poser.
Where's Grandpa?
BOO!

What a great fit for Bruce and Roberta. It was so nice to see them settled. The snow was an added treat. We ended our outing with a delicious meal at the local brewery. Yum!
