July 2016

What a Month!
We started the month at the St. Paul Rodeo.  The Burlingham’s from ORI
got us special VIP tickets for the Rodeo.  We also saw the Halters and Gary Simon too. 
We had such a great time!
I have always wanted to see a real rodeo!

Brandon, Karen, Ben & Anna were in Sunriver for the Fourth of July
S’mores!  Yum!

On the Fourth, we all went into the Bend Pet Parade.
Hundreds of pets…..  all kinds – Birds, Cows, Horses, Chickens, Lizards
Dogs, Cats and many more!

Our little gymnast on a paddle board while floating down the Deschutes.

Next, we went up to Kent Washington to watch Ben play in the
Little League State tournament.  His team came in 4th.

We took a quick trip up to the Pike’s Street Market before an afternoon game.

Oh – those fresh fruits and veggies…..they look so good!

We spent a few days with Marc & Maria to watch Colby in his JBO
District finals.  Unfortunately, Colby suffered a concussion and a bruised
femur and had to leave the final game to go to the Emergency Room.
GOOD NEWS!  With a few days rest, he’s fine now.

Just a few days later, we are on our way north again.
We spent a night with Neil Peterson on his fabulous
houseboat in Seattle.

This is Neil’s view from his deck.  His houseboat is
unbelievable……. Gorgeous! 
Windows everywhere and not a single curtain!

From Seattle, we drove up to Chase, British Columbia to visit with
Dan and Shirley Brumbaugh – ORI friends.
Wow!  Their home is fantastic.
We stayed on their houseboat – what fun!

Dan & Shirley live on Adams Lake.  A simply beautiful lake
with very few people or boats on it.

We went into the woods on Dan’s Razor.  I had a blast! 

Dan and his girl, Jennie on their Skidoo.
The weather was great!

Shirley & I drove into Salmon Arm in her birthday present!
It is a 2016 gorgeous white Corvette!

Dan took Mike & I up to Margaret Falls…… 
A beautiful walk in the woods.

We finished the month back in Vancouver, WA.
My niece, Kristin & her husband Rick had a great party
to celebrate their recent marriage. 
It was wonderful to catch up with my sisters and their families!

Whew!  What a busy month!
