Summer in Oregon

Well, it has been a crazy fun summer in Oregon.  We kept busy, that is for sure.  We'll try to catch up with some posting and pictures.  In the meantime, here are some of the fun things we did:

• Softball went through the middle of June for Kristin
• 4 soccer tournaments for Kristin
• Kellen's Tball (coached by Daddy) went through early June
• Practice for Kellen's fall soccer (coached by Daddy) started twice a week in early August
• Oma and Poppa came to visit in July
• We took a trip to southern Oregon to see Crater Lake for the first time.
• Lot's of day camps for the kids - soccer, dinosaur camp, girl scouts, a few others I can't recall just now...
• Watched a couple games of the Little League World Series of Softball live at Alpenrose ballpark. It is hosted in Portland and the semis and the final were on ESPN2).  Danelle and Kristin got on TV.
• Started a project - a new garden planter bed - a work in progress.
• Birthday parties.  Kristin's party was a Hawaiian theme at our house.  The kids also attended a bunch of birthday parties.  Two of the parties that Kristin attended involved a ride in a limousine (really).
• A trip to Bend to visit Kristin's godmother Bernie, who has relocated to Oregon from the Midwest. 
• A trip to Black Butte Ranch with some good friends.  Black Butte is a laid-back 'resort' community in central Oregon. 

I'm sure there was more... back to school next Tuesday!
