Summer Update 2

In the last few weeks we have visited with many of our family members that we don't get to see very often. On our way up to Oregon to visit Uncle Dick and Aunt Wendy we stopped in Mt. Shasta first. Ben and Steph let us stay in their new house for the night and all 5 cousins had lotsa fun. The next couple days were spent in Eagle Point, where Dick and Wendy really spoiled us with wonderful food and hospitality. Aloryn and Lili were showered with tons of attention, everyone loved it. It was really fun to watch Uncle Dick play with Lili. Chris and I were talking about how Dick and my dad have really come alive when they get to play "Grandpa". We are convinced they are not the same people we had as fathers growing up. On the way back to Reno we stopped and visited with Aunt Estelle, Uncle Jim, and David at their new house in Phoenix, OR. They have a historic house on a several beautiful acres. Back home we spent some time with Nea and the girls. We took the 4 cousins up to the Great Basin Adventure Park near the Wilbur May Museum. They had a great time at the petting zoo, riding the pony, exploring the park, and eating sno-cones. CQ and the adults REALLY had fun on the log ride. We just got back into town from spending a couple nights in Smith Valley and we are planning on heading back to Mt. Shasta for the fourth of July.
