September 2013

September started beautifully…. We made a day trip to Kah-Nee-Tah RV
resort to spend Saturday of Labor Day Weekend with Brandon, Karen,
Ben and Anna and their friends.  Warm - Sunny - couldn’t have been nicer!

Back in Sunriver, the deer were enjoying the beautiful weather.

Mike and his friend Perry were able to take in an Oregon State Beaver
football game in Corvallis, OR.  The Beav’s won!

We made a trip to Vancouver, WA and stayed with Brandon and Karen. 
We went to Ben’s football game.  Anna is on the Gymnastics team
and is becoming quite the performer!

We drove up to the Dalles (on the Columbia River) where Karen’s dad lives. 
Karen introduced us to “Letter Boxing”.  It’s very much like geo-caching but
easier for the kids.  It was much like a treasure hunt.
 In this picture, we stopped in Mosier to do some letter boxing
and for an ice cream cone!

And of course in the Dalles local pub for a brewski at the end of the day!

Next day Ben had a baseball game.  Gee Whiz – These kids keep busy!

I made a quilt to hang over Anna’s bed in her newly recolored bedroom!

We were so happy to see Tom and Linda West in Bend. 
Spent a few hours visiting!

Remember that beautiful sunny start to September? 
Well – the weather changed and now it’s rain.  Time to leave Central Oregon.

We packed up the motorhome and headed to Marc and Maria’s to stay
with Camryn and Colby while Marc and Maria were out of town.

Colby had a “Fun Run” at his school and we went to watch  (in the rain)

Camryn plays soccer for a Portland Team and we went to two of her games.

(in the rain)

Colby had a football game (also in the rain)

We also went to a friend’s football game (once more in the rain)

This is how much we love our grandkids!

Did I mention that it poured and the wind blew and the lights went out briefly. 
I hear Indio California calling my name…….It is saying "Janet – Come to the sun !!"

This morning – we are on our way!
