Target Practice

Since our backyard looks like a desert wasteland (at least the hole is filled in!) the boys have been doing a little target practice...
Gophers
and Flamingos???

Indian Beach with our Friends

We went to Indian Beach (just north of Cannon Beach) for the evening on Friday. We left warm sunny weather in Portland to cool misty weather at the coast. Andrea and I got in the water to boogie board, the kids all got soaked and sandy... you could say it was a successful day!
John and Corring came with their kids yay!
Andrea had these cool lanterns that you light and they float up into the sky and disappear, it was really awesome.

Harrier Jet 2010 Air Show

I made a video of the Harrier Jet at the 2010 Portland International Air Show. I didn't know a jet could go backwards! What the heck! The video of it is the jet hovering in mid air, rotating and then flying off. It was so LOUD and really awesome.

Swimming and Caving

Our neighbors are so nice and let us come and swim in their pool. I am glad because it has been hot here lately!
Mark took the kids up to the Ape Caves. They are lava tubes by Mount St. Helens. They had lots of fun. Me... I was working, so I didn't get to go (poor me)

Heather's Family

It's about time my family gets a little recognition don't ya think? My sister Nikki came for two weeks in August with Lilyanne, who is now walking all over the place. We managed to see Casey too, who was visiting a friend in Seattle. We met up at the Seafair that is at Lake Washington. It was a neat show, they had the Blue Angels, and hydroplane boats among other things.



Hagg Lake

We are big fans of our new blue canoe. It has been awesome. We all fit in perfectly and the water at the lake has been warm, and the kids love it! We tied a tube up to it and told the kids "HOLD ON! WE ARE GOING TO GO REALLY FAST!" They weren't impressed with our slow paddling skills. I love summer time.

Mark's family goes all out for the 4th of July, it was so fun! Mark bought glow stick hats for everyone, they were funny :)
