June 2013

 June has been an exciting and really fast month.  Is it over already?

We left Indio early in the month and headed for St. George Utah. 
What a beautiful town!

And of course we had a wonderful time with our
friends Denny and Kay Struss! 

After a great 4 day visit, we headed north.  On the way, we came across this great sculpture where the Pony Express came through the west!

Right after we arrived in Sunriver, OR, we had a visit from some ORI friends (Ron and Mary Ellen Taylor) and some brand new neighbors.  (Steve and Linda Petersen) along with Steve and Linda’s daughter and her husband.

We also enjoyed a lovely dinner at Steve and Linda’s.  Great to have old friends in the neighborhood!

The old lot in Sunriver looks great.  Nice to be here!

Back to our good old Monday night Taco Salads at the American Legion! 
They don’t get any better!!

Our dear friends, John and Bonnie Kearsing came up to Sunriver to stay with us for a few weeks.  We had a wonderful time.  This day, we drove up to Paulina and East Lakes.  Gorgeous day!

While John and Bonnie were here, we enjoyed some time kayaking.

In this picture we were enjoying a great day on the lake!!

We left the motorhome and drove the car to Marc and Maria’s for a few days to take in some baseball games of Colby’s before we head out.  Marc took us out on his great new ski boat!  Wow!  It’s beautiful!

Colby’s team won the tournament they were playing in!

Back to Sunriver….got in the motorhome and off we go!

This is Colby’s 10 year old trip and we get to have him with us for two
weeks in between some of his baseball games.

We headed to Vacaville, California and that will be our home base
for the next two weeks.

Beautiful day for an Oakland A’s vs the Cincinnati Red’s

Oakland won 6-0.  I’m really liking professional baseball…Colby does too!

The BART ride to the game was also a great experience!

Next day………A tour of the Jelly Belly factory!

Yum!!

Next day……we went to 6 Flags Discovery Park in Vallejo. 
We arrived when it opened and left when it closed! 
(Grandma is getting tired.)

Mike and Colby went on every ride imaginable!  Some of them twice.

Really cool water show with acrobats, jugglers and of course dolphins!

Rounding out June with another Oakland A’s baseball game.  Although they lost this one (Cardinals 7 - A’s 1) the A’s remain first in the
American League West.

Our trip isn’t over yet……… stay tuned next month for more fun!
