Last year when my dad came to visit at the end of July we took a ride up the scenic chairlift to mid mountain on Mt Bachelor. It was a lot of fun so we decided to do the same with Pat and Sue on their visit this week. It was interesting to see the snow differences year to year. We went about 3 weeks earlier this year, but their is already less snow than when we went up last year.
The weather and snow conditions made for some great glissading with the kids.
Today we headed up to Newberry Crater for the day. On the way up we stopped at Paulina falls and then went on to East Lake where we rented a pontoon boat. Lots of fun toodling around the lake. The kids took turns driving. PJ loved doing 'donuts' in the boat.
A great day starting off with the annual pet parade, followed by swimming, bbq and backyard fire. Thanks to Pat for taking some great photos!
Kevin along with the beautiful garden he built just put up a pool for our family. Living a little ways out of town and on land makes days at home relaxing. Kevin's next project will be building a fence and deck around the pool. We love our hard working dad!
Hunter, Noah and our neighbor Asher sleeping out on the trampoline. Enjoying the morning sun.
The summer solstice is still a few weeks away but with the calendar turn to June, and some beautiful weather this weekend, we will call this the formal kick off to summer in central Oregon. Kelly was gone on girls weekend so it was the rest of the crew making the best of it! Campfire in the backyard Friday night and a day at Scout lake on Saturday. Ending of Saturday evening with a glorious sunset off the back porch.
