Ahhh, Sunriver

our bike ride the first night, beautiful!
The bears in the village.

Relaxing at the stables during another bike ride.

They look forward to the HUGE otterpops!
Seth and Taylor actually finished theirs.

The kids with Great Grammy, Frank, and Grandma and Grandpa Brodine.

On our way into the Lava Caves, cold but FUN!
This is as far as I go! I can do anything in flip flops. I did start out in Tennis shoes, but my cousin's daughter had on flip flops so I traded her.
I wonder why Grandma didn't want to go to the caves. She wouldn't have felt claustrophobic :)

They are cute for cave dwellers.


We are having way too much fun. Bike rides 3-4 times a day, swimming, hiking the lava caves, playing in the village, and lots of fun with family. And that's just the first 2 days. We are off to take the chairlift up Mt. Bachelor this morning and then I think we will take it easy today. Seth has a bad cold and cough that I don't want to stop him from doing the fun things here he enjoys. We will see.

Asleep at last
We had so much fun in Utah. We packed something into every day! Cherry Hill waterpark, Movies, Museums, golfing, swimming, and lots of visiting with family. And this was just the first week with Matt's family. Then we were off to pack in another full week with the Brodines. Stay tuned :)

The Lakers had just won the championship, GO LAKERS!! good thing we already had the jersey to show our laker pride! Ahhh, Summer!

Finally, a family photo


My sister in law Angi has a nice camera and wanted to practice taking photos for a class. I jumped in and asked her to take a family picture of us. The hard part was getting the rest of the family to agree. It was last minute, so no coordinating outfits with cute hair, Paige had just taken a shower, and Matt had a hat on. Oh, well. We have a picture together, that's what counts!
