SummerFest


We enjoyed a weekend visit from John's friend Paul Leonard. Paul has lived all over the world in the last 20 years, but currently is in Vancouver and he made the 8 hour drive down to see John. They enjoyed golfing at two of the local courses and Paul hung out at the local summer festival with us. The kids loved having him around and certainly made him feel like a celebrity, complete with welcome sign on the front door when he arrived on Friday afternoon.

SummerFest was loaded with local music and food. The kids are always happy for an outing that involves hot dogs, a food mom rarely allows at home. Nathan made a bird feeder at Home Depot's booth for kids (in the photo). It's a great example of why we have to hire someone to fix everything at our house rather than being able to do it ourselves as his mom was his "assistant."

Bend continues to provide endless things to do. If we are ever bored, it is by our own choice. I can see why people come here and end up staying.
