Summer Swamp VBS

While the boys are swimming their hearts out this week at swim team Abbie is at camp at our church. This week Abbie will sing, do arts and crafts and water play while learning all about God and having "JOY". This is a picture Abbie and her sweet friend Claire ready for camp to begin.

It's great to be 8!

Noah celebrated his 8th birthday and loved being 8 all day. We were suppose to go an out door water park with a couple friends and our family but there was lightning so we postponed it for another day. His best buddy Blake came over for pizza cake and Noah's first ever having a friend sleep over. All in all it was a great day. Noah is such a bright spot in our family and we couldn't imagine life without him. Happy birthday Noah!

Noah's birthday was followed by his second swim meet where Hunter and Noah came in first place in more than one event. They are great swimmers and it is such a joy watching them swim their hearts out. We are very proud of them.Sent from my iPhone

Happy Independence Day 2015!

Happy 4th of July from the Donaldson Crew!

We went downtown to the Bend Pet Parade this morning followed by a pancake breakfast in the park. Tonight we will have friends over for desserts and will watch fireworks in the park. This holiday is our favorite!

Devils Lake - Cascade Lakes

With today off for the long weekend, we drove up to the Cascades with no particular target in mind.  As we drove by Devils lake there was a nice area by the water that was available so we stopped.  Water was very cold as it drains right off the mountain but the kids had fun in the kayaks and catching frogs along the shore.  The pictures don't do it justice but the lake almost glows green due to the mineral content in the water.
