Billiards, IMAX, Sled Rides, a Fiery Sunset, Cranium, and Cupcakes
We had a ball with my dad, sister, niece, nephew and their darling dog Ody. This post’s title covers some of the highlights of the trip: we played lots of pool, discovered (after a year of living here – ahem!) that we have an IMAX theater and saw high-flying MI4, took Summer and Everest up…

Redding High(and HOT)lights
Let’s be honest about Redding in late July – It’s hot. Really hot. But, despite the 105 degree days and 77 degree nights, we had so much fun! Two of our favorite people in the world. (They’re sweet aren’t they?) I’m kind of attached to that guy on the left too… We started our visit walking…

Bob’s Birthday, Scouting for Campsites, and The Metolius River
The day before Bob’s birthday – Happy 69th! (again) – we took a little road trip to see the Metolius River and scout campgrounds north of Sisters in hopes of some August camping trips. The Metolius River is unique in that you can take a short stroll down a path and see it’s mouth –…
