Oregon Coast Trip 2015: Maple Woods Park Nature Walk!

I joined my parents and sister Cami on this beautiful nature walk just a mere 5 minute walk from my Aunt and Uncle’s house our first morning in Oregon. It was GORGEOUS!!! The one and only downside to the morning was that I had dropped my phone on the way there, but luckily Ben found out a lady had picked it up when she found it on the sidewalk in front of her house. Talk about blessings! He was nice and went and picked it up while I enjoyed the rest of this beautiful, little walk with some of my family. We even found some wild blackberries and boy were they ever delicious!!!

Ben walked to meet up with us after retrieving my phone! SO grateful he found it!

Ahlstrom Family Dance Party!

My Mom is always trying to think of fun things to do together as a family for our get togethers. Last Fall she added a Lip Sync Party, and this Winter she added a family dance party complete with awards! She went all out and even bought black lights and made a disco ball for the event. Nathan got pretty into it as well with making a DJ station for him to run for the night as well as some decorations. It was SO cute!

We got all decked out in our workout clothes-themed ensemble complete with sweat bands before heading out.

Of course we had to wait until Jayden built the traditional, nightly train track with Daddy before we left.

Jayden made a pretty cute little DJ.

We enjoyed a delicious taco dinner before dancing off all of the calories for three whole hours afterwards.

Jayden did not stop movin’ groovin’ and dancing for the entire duration of the party. It was so cute to watch how much fun he had with the event.

 

Jayden was VERY excited about the rewards ceremony. It was so cute to see how proud he was of his well-deserved award.

After the awards were presented, the dancing continued. You know…just for good measure.

Once Jayden finally tired of dancing he decided to make a train with all the kitchen furniture-naturally.

 

It was a BLAST!
