First batch of raspberry jam...so yummy.   

Katie made some bread to go with and we pretty much devoured it all.

The girls were asked to help Rubarb with a magic trick on the field.

 Katie, Kelsey and Bryce leave for a humanitarian mission to Tonga for a couple weeks.   

We are missing them and excited to hear of their adventures.  

4TH OF JULY:   Breakfast at the Lybberts  

       Bike ride on the interurban trail...about 8 miles in total from Cheney stadium across the bridge and back again.   It was a fun adventure for the family.

Forest Grove

We had a fun weekend in Forest Grove visiting Bethany and Sean's new home.  It is a tiny hippie like town with strawberries fields and pastures all around it and about 30 minutes from Portland.    We enjoyed bowling, a movie, visiting their garden, attending church together and a yummy homemade meal made by Bethany.   We are excited to have them just a couple hours away.   

Mike had a high score for bowling...  185  !   

McMinnimans is a cute little hotel, restaurant and movie theater that we visited...

hope to stay there next time we visit!
