4th of July fun and hiking with Aryn












This year, we actually made a point to drive into Bend and stake out a spot to watch the fireworks. We had a great view at a near by park. The show was short and sweet-great for the Minus ADD.

While we were in Sunriver, we met up with my good friend Aryn from college. We met for a delicious breakfast in downtown Bend and then conquered a 4.5 mile hike near Mt. Bachelor. It was long trail but the view was totally worth it.

Golf, fishing and water fights





















Sunriver

















We spent our third year in a row at Sunriver for the 4th of July this year. We had another great trip. This was our first trip to Sunriver since my dad's stroke. He was hoping to be able to ride his bike and play some tennis and golf-and he did! It was wonderful to see him out again.

Eric spent a lot of mornings fishing while I ran and swam. We also floated the river (and got rained on) and spent some time with my friend Aryn who lives in Bend.

Father's Day Tea









For Father's Day, we took my parents to a Tea House in Sherwood for some traditional English tea. The food was delicious and they had an incredible variety of tea. We will definitely visit again.
