Playtime at Home, Field Trip, and a New Brownie

A busy week here. Guess which picture goes with which event.

Memorial Day

The bagpipes played to remember the fallen in a Memorial Day ceremony commemorating a new monument Monday in Sisters. Note the boy in the red jacket in the far right side of the photo--you may know him. He can also be seen twice in this TV News clip covering the event:

Let the Squirting Begin

The temperatures reached the nineties today and the kiddos begged to have their second water fight of the season.  The fever spread to our neighbors and before you knew it we were having crossborder exchanges.  

Outdoor School Begins

Our #1 headed off to outdoor school today with his 6th grade classmates--3 overnights on the Central Oregon Coast. There was alot of excitement in the air which added swirls in the smoke from all the control burns that go on here in the forest in the Spring.

Back from the 50th

My parents celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary back in NNY. My brother, his wife of a year and I flew out from our separate West Coast locales to join our other siblings for a family get together at the house in B.R. We had a great dinner together in M and D's favorite Italian restaurant and then went back to the house for cake and coffee.
