In July we visited our kids in Creswell for their 4th of July Celebration.
We did the usual thing with all the kids lighting fireworks in the street.
We went to a friend's wedding in Harrisburg, OR. Notice the fireworks here too, it was a July 4th weekend wedding.
We did something a little more daring by going whitewater rafting on the McKenzie River.
This is our good friend, Lee Richardson, enjoying his time with us on the river.
In August we went to a couple of class reunions,Roger's 40th Class Reunion of Lebanon High School was held in Lebanon, OR, where I had the awesome opportunity to help lead a worship service with many of our classmates. A lot of my classmates have become Christians. We worshiped in song together in the park, I shared some of my personal testimony of how I came to be a Christian. Then several other classmates shared their personal testimonies. It was an awesome time!
While in Lebanon, we got to stay with our oldest son's family, Josh and Jessica and kids, who live in Albany.
Sherrill's 35th Class Reunion for Junction City High School, was held in Junction City, OR. She had a great time. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be there.
Sherrill and I also vacationed in Bend, taking in the beautiful weather, a nice relaxing city, and doing a little hiking in the surrounding area. This was on the trail to Green Lakes in the Three Sisters Wilderness.
This is on the trail near Tumalo Falls, just outside of Bend about 10 miles. A very nice park.
And then the most out of the ordinary thing we did this summer...We took a helicopter ride!Here's what the Helicopter looked like.
Here's Sherrill riding along.
And some of the sights we saw along the McKenzie River.
All in all it has been a great summer, with lots of fun, adventure, and family.Love you all,
Roger
