Crater Lake Birthday Extravaganza!

This year for Jon's birthday we decided to do something different. Instead of throwing a party we decided it would be fun to go on a road trip. We wanted to go somewhere new that neither of us had ever been to. Crater Lake!

We had a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery, hikes, camping, food and cute critters. We can't wait to go back.

It was quite a hike down to the lake (and back up!) but the boat ride was worth it.

A beautiful view from Watchman lookout station.

Checking out the Phantom Ship.

The volcano spires were AMAZING! (sorry the pic is sideways)

We had a very happy birthday boy!

Christmas is Here!

December is here which for the Tomblesons means going out to all the holiday festivities around town. This weekend we started out going to the Scan Fair on Saturday and took my picture with the viking I had my picture taken with last year.

 

 I had to get some Krumkake which my Grandma used to make. Isn't really christmas without some.

 After going to the gym we were pretty hungry so we had some danish sausages with potatoes and gravy and a norwegian pancake. Sooo yummy.

 We saw a lot of neat crafts and candies and also saw a really neat group play some fun music.

 After the Scan Fair we ran a couple more errands then had a delicious dinner at the Outback Steakhouse. It's one of our new favorite places. We can't get enough of that really good bread.

 On sunday we went to have dinner at my moms then took her and Gio to go see the Festival of lights at the Grotto. There were so many beautiful lights and I got to spend time with some goats which is one of my favorite things.
