August 2016

August is history…..the summer is speeding by

The Deschutes County Fair was a lot of fun……

This was so sweet.  A little girl reading with her pig.
So relaxed and comfortable.

I loved this horse.  He was gigantic. 
I barely came up to the tip of his nose!

John & Sheri (Mike’s youngest sister) came up for 10 days. 

We had so much fun.  One afternoon, Sheri and I made swim bags

One day we headed into town, took in some pickleball games
and saw several ORI friends.

After that, we went to a car show. 
There were so many cars of all types

I thought this was cute…… and Mike loved it!

We also took a day and went kayaking up at Sparks Lake.
It was a beautiful day… but the lake was really low on water.

What a scary sight when you are living in the woods.
A forest fire just a few miles from our place.
The Forest Service was really on this fire and thank goodness
the wind was blowing into the woods in our favor.
It was contained at around 300 acres.

We had a great day on the river with Marc & Maria,
Brandon & Karen and the kids!

They skied, knee boarded, wake boarded and tubed….
the weather was perfect…..a good time was had by all.

Then we headed up to Brandon’s.  Mike was called in for Jury Duty
in Clark County, WA (our residence)  He calls in every day
but so far, they haven’t called his group number.  Maybe tomorrow.

Ben and Anna started back to school today (8^th and 6^th grades)
Camryn (high school junior) and Colby (8^th grade) (in Oregon) start back next week.

So fun to watch them on their special days.
