On my way to Oregon for my annual summer trip to see my family. The summers are perfect time for me to leave the 110ish degree heat of Arizona and go up to the cooler temperatures of Oregon. One of my favorite things to do in Oregon is sit on the porch and read or chat with family. Another things I love are the OREGON TREES.

**Bonus: Star Stick**

My nephew introduced me to the star stick. You pick up a stick from cottonwood tree and break and you can see the stars inside.
