Blossom Season

This Friday Eli and I flew to Oregon to visit my family in Hood River. It's Blossom Season here and so beautiful. I miss living in Oregon and Spring is one of my favorite times of the year (along with summer). I especially love Blossom season, when all the blossoms are out on the orchard trees. My sister and nephew picked us up from the airport and spent the weekend with us. Here are some pictures that we took at the Columbia Gorge Hotel in Hood River (the grounds to the Hotel are beautiful, in case you didn't notice). Kaden was pretty upset that Baby Eli didn't say "cheese" when Grandpa took their picture. Anyway, we got lots of great pictures of the boys, and the grandkids with Grandma and Grandpa Frazier.
We're heading to the Tulip Festival in Woodburn this week, and will be going to Great-Grandpa's orchard to get some good pictures with the blossoms, so I'll be posting more pictures soon. Being home makes me realize how much I miss Oregon and living someplace that actually has seasons. But I'll stop this post now, before I go on about how great the Pacific Northwest is and how ready I am to move back. Isaac has 2 more years of school and then we plan on moving back, so I keep telling myself I only have 2 more Arizona summers to make it through (although that thought doens't help too much when the 110+ heat hits - I'll take winter over that kind of heat any day!). Hurry Isaac!
