Note about pictures:<\/u><\/strong> It\u2019s been a while since my last post so I wanted to share two mountain top experiences for our family from the last few months with you.

The second group was taken recently on a road trip to Oregon. Our longest road trip as a family of seven plus Fritz. You can image our van was pretty cozy at best. We made a brief visit to Crater Lake and got to stay at a timeshare with an indoor pool!! So fun and a much needed getaway from the daily grind of at-home and online work, school and therapies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
