Cycle Pub with Kelly's Sisters and their Husbands

First time all together since Kelly's birthday in may on the Oregon Coast.  We got a babysitter for the kids and headed out to do some cycling and pub'ing.  

First thing... to get the guys warmed up a tasting session at the Oregon Distillery.... warmed up is an understatement with some of the whiskey tastings.  One referred to as Pirates whiskey had quite the kick!

Next stop, a quick beer at Crux along with tasty taco's from El Sancho (at Crux)

Now that we were ready for some cycle pub action we met up with the ladies to begin the cycle pub! Thanks to Erin for some great shots from the cycle pub.

Broken Top Crater Glacial Lake

Today I did a really nice hike with my friend Jamie up to the glacial lake in the crater of Broken top in the Cascade range just out of Bend.  Two summers ago I hiked to the summit of Broken top and always wanted to hike to the crater.  The trip is about 7-8 miles round trip with approx 1600 ft of vertical.  Was originally going to bring the older boys but they are still recovering from Camp this week :)


 

Camp Tadmor

We drove the boys up to sleep away church camp on Tuesday evening. They should have a fun few days together enjoying swimming, hiking, archery, canoeing, crafts, skits and many other fun out door activities. It is their first time away from home. Hopefully, it will be a fun experience and Abbie will want to go with them next year.

Date Night: Sunset Dinner at Mt Bachelor

During July and August weekends Mt Bachelor offers sunset dinners at Pine Martin Lodge so Kelly and I decided to check it out tonight. It was fun seeing the ski area in the summer and riding the chair lift both up and down!

Abbie won a prize

The kids are participating in the summer reading program at our local library. Each month they draw a winner and they can come in and pick out a prize. Abbie chose a white fox with the book that goes along with it. She is one happy little reader.
