90 degrees is just too hot!

It is 90 degrees in Astoria, minimal breeze and muggy. Not the combo we like here. I'm hunkering down for the night trying not to puddle.

William went to the fair with the Hansen's and is then spending the night. Adding fair dirt to heat and muggy is just not happening for this girlie!

YEAH! I passed my Team Oregon tests!

I have my Team Oregon card in hand so now I can obtain my motorcycle endorsement! What a fun class! I really feel that I improved my riding skills by at least 300%. Today we showed up at 7am to drizzle, thunder and lightening. So we had to postpone our riding by an hour. When the lightening finally stopped, we mounted up - in the pouring rain - and went through our lessons. I loved it! Chances are, I won't be riding in that extreme of weather, but the fact that I was able to get through the course and drills without missing a beat sent my riding confidence to all-time highs. So, although it is a year later than I planned - I am now ready to hit the road on my Buddy!

Happy 4th of July

William hit LongBeach, WA with Martin, Liz and boys. They are having a blast, enjoying the sun (yes, we have had sun all week long!).

Maybe too much fun?! Will was chillin' and forgot that pranksters are always lurking, pushed over on the beach (pretty easy feat given the sand).

Happy 4th from our house to yours!
